#ABC exiting #Twitter: Australia’s national broadcaster shuts down almost all accounts on #ElonMusk’s #X/Twitter

The #PublicBroadcaster says interactions on the platform are ‘toxic’ as it closes almost all its Twitter accounts

"The ABC is shutting down almost all of its official accounts on Twitter – now known as X under Elon Musk’s ownership – citing “toxic interactions”, cost and better interaction with ABC content on other #SocialMedia platforms."

I see this as a #CautionaryTale for #Israel, especially in light of some moves to stop funding the #PublicBroadcaster

Still no #TwitterExodus, but another #PublicBroadcaster leaving: Swedish #SverigeRadio quits #Twitter. A reason stated, is that it simply "has become less important to us" & "only 7% of Swedes are daily on Twitter".
#ElonMusk wasn't the reason for leaving, but for evaluating their attitude towards Twitter.

Other than #NPR, #PBS and #CBC they're not pausing their activity on Twitter, but really leaving. Again no word about #Mastodon/#Fediverse, though.
