Their logic for why they're on TikTok and Facebook seems sound to me, but doesn't that same logic apply to X? I kept waiting for the explanation but it never came...

there isn't enough people left there to be worth the tradeoff
13 million impressions a year isn't enough to be worth copy-pasting a few posts from Facebook?
Not if enough folks think your posting there is a sign you're an ass.
If you hang out in a bar with KKK memorabilia everywhere - and open the replies of any reasonably popular news story on X before complaining that's not a fair comparison - people make conclusions off your presence, even if you're personally there for the tasty beer.

X "impressions" are not worth very much
At least half of those are bots.
>there isn't enough people left there to be worth the tradeoff
what tradeoff?
Sounds like: I wont get out of bed for $100k
Same, but I'll get into bed for half that

I had that exact same thought. The argument they presented applies to any walled garden, they gave no reason why X would be the exception.
It's clear this is about politics, and I'm not opposed to that, Elon is not awesome, but trying to justify it otherwise seems kind of shady.
It's pretty damn simple actually. Their target audience by and large doesn't use twitter anymore, either.
They're a global issues advocacy organization. "Their target audience" is everyone, or at least it ought to be if they're doing their job right.
Ignoring people of any demographic or political persuasion would be a serious strategic mistake in my opinion.

The current electronic frontier is AI and X is the place where high level AI researchers, developers, influencers and users converse. IDK where else has more of the intellectual discourse on AI. Definitely not the likes of instagram or TikTok. Sure, those platforms are more censored and kid friendly, but I don't think that's really who the EFF should be focusing on as their audience.
