Take X icons off websites and emails ! And replace with Mastodon icons !

It's time for Irish organisations to leave X.  Irish State and official websites should not be sending people into the toxic environment which is X to get official updates.  Irish media organisations should not be using X as their platform to interact with audiences.  Having X icons on websites and emails is free marketing and promotion for the toxic X platform, and pushes people from a neutral environment (a website or email) into a toxic environment where Elon Musk controls what they see.

It is also time to promote home grown (European and Irish) alternatives such as http://mastodon.ie which are part of the Fediverse.  To learn more about the Fediverse see this 4 minute video https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
