Afallen was set up in 2018 to keep money and skills in Wales, and to help organisations understand, and implement, Future Generations ways of working.
We’re a small business, and in common with most other organisations in Wales, we adopted a range of social media platforms to help communicate with our audience.
Twitter (X) was one of those platforms. Over the years we have built our following into a modest 922 followers. However we have recently been shifting our focus to other platforms that include Mastodon, Pixelfed and LinkedIn. Twitter (X) has been getting progressively worse, a process turbo-charged by Elon Musk who has enabled, empowered and enriched those who seek to divide and misinform.
We believe that our use of the platform has become an implicit endorsement of an emboldened far right in the public discourse, and is now incompatible with the Afallen values, and with the Future Generation Goals in Wales. We have therefore decided to stop using our account, effective immediately.
One of our Afallen values is “empowering open digital solutions” which is why we are very happy to have a presence on the open source social media platforms of Mastodon and Pixelfed. If you would like to connect with us on our other platforms of communication, please head to:
