As part of the NFDI association, NFDI4Health is dedicated to the core values of Open Science. We value diversity – not only in the data we care about, but also in the conversations we engage in. We are committed to nurturing an environment that is welcoming, supportive, respectful and free of harassment, intimidation, bullying and discrimination. The decisions of Twitter/X to substantially reduce their content moderation teams and to invite previously banned perpetrators of hate speech back onto their platform, run contrary to this commitment. In close alliance with many other NFDI consortia, we therefore move our social media engagement away from Twitter/X. Henceforth, we’re focusing our efforts on our LinkedIn and Mastodon accounts that currently better resonate with our values.
At the beginning of 2024, we will stop using Twitter/X and delete the account. We invite you all to follow us on the alternative networks:
