Uh oh, some MPs are about to get sued.
Labour MP's need to put their grown up pants on and work for the people instead of being emotional about a platform.
They could start their own fediverse instance and ruthless ban users who have ever agreed with Jeremy Corbyn.
Don't enable his embarrassing nonsense by calling Twitter "X".
It’s rare to see such a big fuck up as with twitter…
Only now? It's been two years of this and now they've had too much? No partial credit should be given for people that continued to participate when it was clear what was happening.
Also, I don't believe a significant number of them actually will.
People in the UK need to start pushing Mastodon hard. You could use the tagline "You don't want to switch services again in a few years, do you?"

Uh, sure. Now is good. Several years ago was better, but, yeah.
The second best time is now.
Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’
Why does this happen? Lemmy doesn't get mentioned in articles, but Lemmy is still fairly small. Last I checked, Mastodon is doing well against the competitors. BBC even has an experimental instance

Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn't know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn't know about the "nerdy options"
Is it finally time? The beginning of the end?
