We’ve redefined how the statistics are calculated. From now on, only politicians with an X account are counted. We’ve also updated the wording from “inactive” to “exited”.
If a MEP has an X account and hasn’t publicly stated that they left, they are considered active. Only MEPs who delete their account or explicitly announce they are leaving X are counted as out of X.
There are still 418 MEPs (58%) to go

Thank you to everyone who provided corrections!
Are members of the European Parliament going to join the Fediverse or BlueSky/EuroSky in large numbers? Or both?
Follow @seabass.bsky.social and @alexandrageese to get informed.
So far, though, most of them are still on X.

Only 17% of Austrian MPs are still on X.
Compare that to Sweden, 66%, the Netherlands, 63%, and the EU, 58%, that gap is striking.
Finland is often cited as a leader in digital literacy and counter-disinformation. It makes me curious how Finnish politicians assess X today, as a neutral platform, or as an active disinformation risk.
Which European country will be the first to seriously lead by example and walk away from this disinformation machine?
