The Dutch Government also launched an instance not that long ago. It's a pity it took so long, but Musk's antics are finally forcing people to move.

German Public broadcast also has its own instance, as does the government.

Fair enough. I feel like I disagree with you based on what I’ve seen, but us disagreeing is free speech.

Good job there isn't a story just today about twitter using threats of legal action to harass researchers for their free speech eh?

Right on. 😄

Edit to add. I think it swings both ways. I’ve seen the Beeb and ‘X’ curtail speech. It would be hilarious if the BBC got cancelled for being transphobic.
