In a significant turning point for the world of social media, Chronique Disney has decided to withdraw from X, the former Twitter. After nearly 15 years of activity on this platform, the site announced that its last content would be published on October 23, 2024. The reasons for this decision are multiple and concern ethical, reputational, and effectiveness issues.
The reasons for the withdrawal
The choice of Chronique Disney to leave X is driven by several factors. Firstly, the platform has undergone a transformation under its new management, favoring the dissemination of content that does not align with the values upheld by the team. With a culture now deemed toxic and extremist ideas dominating, Chronique Disney can no longer endorse engagement on a network where such discussions prevail.
Furthermore, the surge of overflowing and often outrageous content perceived on the X news feed severely harms the site’s reputation, which finds itself drowning in a flood of polarized information. Coupled with this, the platform’s new policies, which restrict the reach of posts from unpaid accounts, offer extremely limited visibility for Chronique Disney‘s content. It has thus become less interesting to be present on a channel that no longer allows the gathering of a community.
The transition to private mode
While Chronique Disney‘s account will not be deleted, it will be switched to private mode after the last publication. This means that only subscribers will be able to access the posted content, signifying a transition to a much more closed space where ideas can be exchanged without the risk of platform deviations.
This decision would also allow Chronique Disney to retain a certain history of nearly 15 years of engagement with its subscribers while protecting itself from the surrounding toxicity on X.
The official announcement
The communication regarding this departure has been carefully planned. The last intervention on X will take place on October 24, 2024, at 8 a.m., marking a definitive separation from the platform. This final message will serve not only as a farewell but also as a statement of the values that Chronique Disney wishes to continue to defend, far from the controversy surrounding the social network.
Alternatives to X
With this exit from X, Chronique Disney does not find itself isolated in the digital space, as the site remains active on several other platforms. Users can continue to follow Chronique Disney‘s activities on Disney Central Plaza, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and even on Twitch.
Additionally, Chronique Disney‘s presence on Youtube and Letterboxd, as well as the music playlists available on Deezer and Spotify, ensure that fans continue to have access to a wide range of content aimed at celebrating the Disney universe.
