HelloQuitteX and CNRS/ISC-PIF are launching an international movement to reappropriate digital spaces by putting online a technological bridge between the old centralized, locked-down, anti-democratic social networks, and the new generation of decentralized, open social networks compatible with functional democracies.

From January 20, this gateway will enable X users to recreate a digital identity on BlueSky or Mastodon, similar to the one they had on X (same subscribers, retrieval of important tweets).

Gradually, this gateway will become compatible with other networks such as Facebook, to complete the digital emancipation of their user-citizens.

On January 20, let’s say no to opinion manipulation via social networks.

On January 20, let’s implement portability on X for a resilient democracy!
