Grok could have produced 3 million sexual deepfakes in 11 days, says estimate European regulators have yet to decide how to handle the explosion of nonconsensual deepfakes on the platform.

🚨🚨Re #leavingX, a recent study on the artificial intelligence chatbot #Grok embedded on X estimates it created the astonishing number of 3 MILLION sexualized images in 11 DAYS in January, including 23,000 of children. Unforgivable with this evidence to stay on #X. www.politico.eu/article/grok...

X marks the exit. I am leaving X. Over the past few months, I’ve been backing up, deleting, or saving bookmarks, and clearing out DMs from my Twitter (X) account, @johnmayo. There were some lovely memories in there—…

X marks the exit🤔In the end, #LeavingX isn’t a grand statement—it’s just a quiet return to a web that works for me. No algorithm, no outrage bait, no “For You” feed deciding what I should see. Just clean, honest #RSS: fast, simple, and blissfully drama‑free. #DigitalMinimalism buff.ly/HeN4dsy

It can be a bit of a culture shock coming to Bluesky from other networks. Our user base has been marinating in a very different information environment than someone #LeavingX right now.

🚨🚨 Re #leavingx topic: #French prosecutors to investigate #deepfakes of women stripped naked by #grok.

Utterly reprehensible and disgusting. 👇

Hey Bluesky! I'm new here (@snowflake1969) and coming from X, where I'm withdrawing because of throttling and unchecked fakes running wild. Instead, I'm building Python tools against fakes. Who else has fled? thedarksideofx.blogspot.com #Bluesky #LeavingX

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

New investigation of Elon Musk’s X by Sky News found that every account set up by reporters, “no matter their political orientation, was fed a glut of rightwing content”, much of which was extreme. Via @theguardian.com

Farewell X (twitter) - Hello World.

I’m done feeding systems built on outrage, manipulation, and billionaire influence.

I created a free guide: how to download your data, say goodbye

Hi everyone! I'm tired of the chaos on X, so I'm now on Bluesky & Threads. Fresh start, less noise, more real talk. Expect racing, horror, aesthetics, space & music. Let’s make it better here.

#BlueskySocial #ThreadsApp #LeavingX #FreshStart #AuthenticContent

Terre des Hommes lascia X. È tempo di scegliere da che parte stare. Un tempo canale che promuoveva dialogo e condivisione, oggi alimenta odio e disinformazione, non rispecchiando più i valori che guidano la nostra missione.
Da oggi in poi Bluesky sarà il canale sostitutivo ufficiale.

I've finally had enough. As an author, I believe in the power of words to inspire, uplift, and bring about change, but they need the right environment to thrive. Which is why I am relocating to Bluesky. Look forward to connecting. #PowerOfWords #LeavingX #JoinBluesky #WordsMatte

Bye bye X, now you’re eX

It’s just sad. #leavingx

You may have noticed influential researchers in your network who were calling to leave Twitter/X. But were academic #influencers the main driver of migration?

#TwitterMigration #Xodus #LeavingX #TwitterExit #MastodonMigration #groupdynamics

Been thinking about how last fall I simply signed out of X & never went back. Today I did the right thing by downloading it again, logging back in, deleting all posts, unfollowed everyone, deactivated the account, and uninstalled again. #leavingX #LeavingTwitter

I just saw a couple of companies posting about their leave from bird/X and I can totally understand why it is a daunting/scary step to take.

We all here might knew that and should help anyone #LeavingX to find a better home here! Give them a lil' push with a new follow ❤️👍

We're a tiny studio, and it's hard to imagine that us leaving X would have any effect on that bot-and-troll filled platform. But floods are made of water droplets right?

The sky is bluer over here anyway.

#LeavingX

If you're seeing this, you probably know that we've decided to take the plunge and turn our back on what used to be our biggest platform (Twitter), but we're excited to spread the indie love on all our other channels ✨🕹️ Let's keep it going!

Very nice session, good debate and challenges from you @emmaelinor.bsky.social 🙏 #leavingX

Finally I uninstalled the #X fka. #Twitter #app today. Hoping for a world with less hate speech! At least in my small private universe.😉

As things stand I do think most official services, unis, research, will move off X and even all META platforms when the full effect of the X-ification of META has been completed. In addition European, businesses and public services need to drop our dependency on the US solutions.
