Alternatives to X
OK, so you’ve read my plea to leave X , and you’re thinking… ok, they have a point, but…
How do we start?
First of all, I have to acknowledge that this isn’t a simple as just deleting your account. Many organisations have had a presence on X (fka Twitter) for a long time and have built up a substantial audience. I’m not suggesting you throw that away, yet.
