At Jeder Institute, we are dedicated to fostering inclusive, ethical, and community-driven conversations that contribute to positive social impact. As part of this commitment, we regularly assess the platforms we use to ensure they align with our values of respect, inclusivity, and community empowerment.
Jeder Institute’s Ethical Statement on Leaving X (Twitter)
After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue our presence on X (formerly Twitter). This decision is based on several ethical concerns, including:
- Misinformation and Harmful Content – The increasing spread of misinformation, hate speech, and divisive rhetoric on the platform does not align with our commitment to fostering safe, constructive, and respectful dialogue.
- Platform Governance and Ethics – Recent changes in content moderation policies and platform governance have raised concerns about the amplification of harmful narratives, which conflict with our core values of equity, dignity, and social justice.
- Community-Centered Engagement – We prioritize meaningful, engaged conversations with the communities we serve. Given the shifting nature of interactions on X, we believe other platforms and direct engagement strategies will better support our mission.
Our Path Forward
We recognize that social media plays a crucial role in staying connected with our community. While we have concerns about large corporate-owned platforms, we will continue using Facebook for now due to our strong existing community there. However, we are actively and intentionally transitioning to alternative platforms that better align with our values, including Bluesky and Mastodon.
We invite our supporters to join us in building ethical, community-driven digital spaces. You can stay connected with us via the following platforms as we move toward a more inclusive and values-aligned online presence:
- Jeder Institute Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jederinstitute.bsky.social
- Jeder Institute Mastadon: https://mastodon.social/@jederinstitute
Thank you for your continued support.
