Leaving Twitter/ X

We are stepping away from Twitter/X in favour of platforms that are currently more aligned with our values. Find us on Mastodon!

The NFDI association and all NFDI consortia are dedicated to the core values of Open Science. We value diversity – not only in the data we care about, but also in the conversations we engage in. We are committed to nurturing an environment that is welcoming, supportive, respectful and free of harassment, intimidation, bullying and discrimination. The decisions of Twitter/X to substantially reduce their content moderation teams and to invite previously banned perpetrators of hate speech back onto their platform, run contrary to this commitment. We’ve therefore decided to move our social media engagement away from Twitter/X. Henceforth, we’re focusing our efforts on our account on the NFDI Mastodon instance, @punch4nfdi@nfdi.social, that currently better resonates with our values. 

We will stop using Twitter/X by the end of the year 2023. We encourage you to join us in other spaces that support constructive and respectful dialogue.
