Good morning everyone,
From 1st February we will no longer post on Twitter. This comes alongside an ever increasing surge of disinformation, hate, conspiracy theory and a surge in bots.
Under Musk’s ownership, the platform has enabled and amplified the far-right, and racism and transphobia are rampant.
Our account will still be active so that we can receive direct messages from our community.
Twitter has been a strong source of community for us and we have a large following. Building a new social media presence can be a scary thing to do, particularly when it's tied to your business model, but we cannot continue to use the platform.
We've already put down strong foundations on #BlueSky (nearly 1000 followers) and we hope to see many of you there - the EP community is beginning to blossom there!
You can read more about BlueSky and sign-up using our 'starter pack' here:

We're also considering our presence on Facebook given recent changes in the US regarding disinformation, fact checkers and essentially abandoning moderation of content.
