We at Hoot Credit Union have taken the decision to cease using X as be believe the ever increasing toxic content and lack of moderation of harmful misinformation goes against our co-operative values.

In recent years, the digital world has changed in ways that have deeply impacted how we, as an organisation, interact with our audiences.  We believe that X is no longer the best platform to communicate with our members and community partners.

X used to be a lively platform where communities could connect, share their stories, and push for positive change. It’s become a much more hostile environment in recent years. Hate speech, harassment, general toxic content make it an uncomfortable space for us, and we think for many of our members.

We will not delete our account in the hope that at some point, the platform will once again become a space for positive communication and change; but we will no longer post or monitor our account.

You can still interact with us via Meta, Instagram and LinkdIn, and you can keep up to date with what is happening at Hoot via our website www.wisewithmoney.org.uk
