  1. The leader of the party, Sofia Virta, doesn’t see X to be relevant or worthwile due to the systematic hate speech, spread of conspiracy theories and disinformation.

    The party believes Elon Musk to increase polarization in the society. The party wants to participate in important discussions in social media but not when the purpose of it is to feed hate, increase discrimination and spread misinformation. They believe that Musk uses the platform to further his political agenda and to give support to the far right movement.

  2. Reducing your reach instead of expanding it doesn’t seem like a smart political move

  5. You go Finns! 🚀

    There’s life outside the walled gardens of billionaires using social networks for their own purposes, hope other EU politicians start to follow suite.

  8. The problem with political parties who aren’t in government doing this is they are cutting any potential voters away.

    If a party is serious about wanting power they should want their message everywhere.

  9. I said this exact thing months ago, Musk bought twitter so he had his own platform to manipulate the masses with his horseshit. All the minute brained dudes blindly following him to the far right because he’s a billionaire and must be correct right. Honestly I wish we could settle politics in an octagon let me batter one of these bigoted cunts

  10. X is trash , i have the account from 2011 , im going to close it

  11. Is Bluesky really better ? (never tried twitter or bluesky)

  13. Keep going, they should make a stance and all politicians should leave X

  14. About time! X cannot survive without the network effect. I hope more parties and universities follow suit.

  15. Anywhere free speech is allowed there will be hate speech and misinformation.

  17. Nice.

    It is specially hard for smaller parties, it is quite encouraging to see they are doing it.

  18. Which platform did they go to? Lot of folks are announcing they are leaving but where?

  20. Yey!! I will manifest my opinion only where I can cancel those who disagree with me. Stonks.

  22. So, not to rain on the parade, but how big is Green party in Finland…?

  23. Man I love seeing news like this. Kudos to Finland and greens

  27. Oh no, the most retarted group of people are doing something stupid and wining about it…
