It USED to be a decent source for news and updates on stuff but that’s long gone. I deleted my account just before that weird billionaire guy bought it and don’t regret it one bit.
Well I mean it’s a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don’t switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So… if the job is to warn people about serious shit… it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.
Why is anyone considering staying on X?
Why did anyone join it in the first place?

I don’t think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.
They should (as you say) go where the people are… Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.
No, they should be where no entity outside of European jurisdiction can influence their messaging.
The EU commission has their own Mastodon instance. That’s how all public services should do it.
Shut down the Xitter infection
The whole reason Twitter was popular was to be informed by the people you follow.
No one that is still there gives any sort of fuck about correct information, just bail. Stop legitimizing this Nazi bullhorn for God’s sake.
