Over the past year, we have watched X deteriorate into a platform to distribute fake news, false facts and worse, hate propaganda. After the most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/crmngpvv08lo\">meddling of Mr Musk with central European politics<\/a>, we decided that we are no longer comfortable with using X as a social media platform for our lab. We feel that we want to be represented by a platform that keeps political neutrality and promotes honest information, respect and tolerance for all users. Therefore, we have decided to move the lab to Bluesky &#8211; a fast growing social media platform that increasingly establishes itself as an alternative to X. Our X profile will be deleted shortly.
