🇪🇺 German political parties leave X, say platform “descended into chaos”

Two of the three parties have set up their own Mastodon instances years ago (grüne.social and social.linksfraktion.de respectively).

The Left is also present at @dielinke@mastodon.social

And even high ranking SPD politicians are active on the Fediverse (@eskensaskia@mastodon.social for example)

They are going to be present on closed platforms, because like it or not (and for the record I don't) that's where a large part of voters is, but the Fediverse plays an active part in their social media strategies.

Yes. I mean yes to both parts of that sentence. That's exactly what they'll do.

No it’s SPD. They have shit for brains unfortunately

The worst joke is that most of these parties have a fediverse presence, often even their own servers. The same is true for the EU btw...

But they just collectively decided to give a fuck (the EU even topped this by running fediverse stuff for years then ending the test phase with "it works well and easy... but none-the-less be can't be bothered to keep it up anyway).

The illusion of reach.

One would think the Nazi salutes would've done the trick, what with their laws and all.

Why would the leading government party shy away from fascists when right-wing populism, culture war and cuddling up with fascists is all they do anyway.

Their active presence on basically any other platform would be a fucking clown show because there people would actually speak up against their bullshit constantly.
