title: Leaving X
description: German academic institutions are leaving Twitter/X. I'm not an academic institution, but still I'm following suit.

Several academic institutions in Germany have decided to terminate their
presence on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Press release of the "Informationsdienst Wissenschaft" (scientific news service,
in German): <https://idw-online.de/de/news845520>
Ironically, the press release page has several buttons to share this information
on social media, right now still including a sharing button for X :smile:
Surely just a matter of time.

I got aware of this by reading my former university's newsletter:
<https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/einblick/single/news/universitaet-wuerzburg-kehrt-plattform-x-den-ruecken-1>
I'm following suit. I've just now deleted my account on X.

See you!
