FC St. Pauli has officially abandoned the social media platform X, citing escalating hate speech and misinformation as key reasons. The club’s announcement criticized owner Elon Musk for turning X into a ‘hate amplifier’ influencing political discourse, particularly in the context of the upcoming Bundestag elections. Instead, St. Pauli will communicate through the BlueSky platform. The club, active on X since 2013 with over 250,000 followers, will not delete its previous content, considering it historically significant.
