PODCAST | Should you leave Twitter?

Twitter is no longer called Twitter. It is called X. It is directed by Elon Musk, who has put it at the service of the extreme right in particular and the toxic debate in general. This context has pushed many people to make the definitive decision that some others had already made before: leave Twitter. Leave the social network and look for alternatives. Mastodon was a fake last year: now the option seems Bluesky. Should we abandon a social network in which so much energy has been invested?

We are going to hear several voices, from the editorial staff of elDiario.es and from people from outside with whom we have been talking about this for years. elDiario.es journalists Elena Cabrera and María Ramírez tell us their personal and professional feelings. Julio Montes, director of Maldita.es, makes his position clear to us: we should not leave X. Guillermo Zapata, one of the activists who best used Twitter for post-15M politics, believes that we should abandon this social network.

In addition, we discovered BlueSky with elDiario.es journalist specialized in technology Carlos del Castillo.
