With Libération, The Guardian, and Le Monde all gone from X (and smaller publications following their leads), its relevancy for journalism in Europe is truly collapsing.

Germany is for once lagging behind -- while many nonprofits, universities and public institutions in Germany have quit X, publications like Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, Sueddeutsche, etc. are all still happily posting to Musk's paltform.

Shout-out to German news orgs who _have_ made the departure from X:

- @tazgetroete (684.5K followers on X)
- @heiseonline (238K)
- @correctiv_org (118.6K)

(Also very cool to see two of these running their own instances.)

Many more to go!

I should also give a shout-out to two German public broadcasters:

@3sat and @ZDF

Both quit X in March 2024 without fanfare; they've built their audience here on the fediverse on a dedicated instance. (Another German broadcaster, ARD, also has a dedicated instance but is still on X.)

@eloquence
There is also @NDR , a part of the ard public broadcast family which covers northern germany. They are very active over here 👍 .

@3sat @ZDF hvad så @DRIndland hvornår skipper I X og Facebook?
