ALT A written statement from the Fringe Society explaining why we're leaving X. Unfortunately the whole statement does not fit in the alt text field - the main points are: - The Fringe Society's values are centred around a strong sense of community, inclusion, collaboration, honesty, transparency and kindness. - In recent months, if not years, X has become a space that increasingly tolerates the spread of negativity and misinformation; we also have concerns around X's terms of service with regards to users' intellectual property and how X uses it. - We have decided to stop using our X accounts: @edfringe, @fringecentral and @edfringesociety. - We’re looking into how this will impact activities we have previously run via X, eg #TweetTheMedia, and how we can make them work on other platforms. - You can continue to follow news about the Fringe and the work of the Fringe Society on edfringe.com or on other social media platforms (linked in the post above).
