Press Release: Why We Remain on Social X: A Message from FreeAstroScience
In a digital era where science and culture are often segmented by social and political divides, the mission of FreeAstroScience remains clear: to educate and inspire a global audience by making complex scientific principles accessible and comprehensible to all.
After careful consideration, our editorial team, led by President Gerd Dani, has decided that we will continue our presence on Social X (formerly known as Twitter). We understand that many of our readers may have concerns about this decision, particularly given the platform's recent controversies and changes in leadership. However, we believe it is essential to address these concerns directly and transparently.
Why We Choose to Stay
Why would a science-focused entity remain active on a platform facing social criticism? The answer is rooted in our core mission, which is expressed in our manifesto—educating, uniting, and empowering people through science. In alignment with this purpose, FreeAstroScience has chosen to retain its presence on X to bridge divides, promote knowledge without boundaries, and reach a truly diverse audience that we believe has the right to accessible science education.
We understand that some may question our choice to remain active on X, especially amidst ongoing debates about the platform's policies and practices. However, as an organization dedicated to the universal spread of scientific literacy, we believe that isolation or boycotts would hinder our mission. Our goal is not just to reach those already engaged with science but to extend our reach to new communities that may not otherwise encounter educational content.
By staying active on X, we can continue to connect with millions of users who rely on the platform for information. This allows us to fulfill our commitment to education and cultural dissemination, as outlined in our manifesto. We believe that limiting our engagement would only narrow the scope of our outreach and reduce opportunities for meaningful interaction with curious minds across the globe.
Boycotting or isolating ourselves from this platform would limit our ability to fulfill our mission. Education thrives on inclusivity. By staying active on Social X, we can continue to engage with individuals who are passionate about science and those who are just beginning their journey of discovery.
Addressing Your Concerns
We recognize that some of our supporters may have concerns about the ethical implications of remaining on certain platforms. Rest assured, we are continuously evaluating how best to serve our audience while upholding the values of transparency and integrity. Our presence on X is not an endorsement of all its practices but rather a pragmatic approach to ensuring that science remains accessible where people are already gathering.
For those worried about data privacy or misinformation, we encourage you to engage critically with all online platforms, including ours.
Our focus will continue to be on delivering scientifically accurate, unbiased, and impactful content that reflects our dedication to clarity, truth, and educational integrity.

If you share our concerns but still want to support our mission, there are several ways you can get involved:
- Engage with us directly: Follow us on Social X and participate in discussions. Your voice matters.
- Share our content: Help us spread scientific knowledge by sharing our posts with your network.

A Word from President Gerd Dani
"Our commitment to education transcends boundaries. In a world divided by ideologies and perspectives, science can serve as a unifying language. We see our work on X as a vehicle to educate, inspire, and connect. Our presence on this platform is not a political statement, but a continuation of our mission to spread knowledge freely and widely," shared Gerd Dani, President of FreeAstroScience.
Looking Ahead: FreeAstroScience’s Universal Vision
As we continue our work, we remain vigilant about how and where we deliver information. FreeAstroScience will always prioritize platforms that allow us to engage diverse audiences without sacrificing our integrity or mission. Our editorial team continually evaluates each channel for its effectiveness in supporting a worldwide, diverse readership that deserves access to scientific knowledge.
Conclusion
Our unwavering focus is on making science comprehensible, accessible, and actionable for every individual, regardless of background or belief. FreeAstroScience invites all who seek understanding and knowledge to join us as we continue to break down complex concepts for everyone, without bias. We believe that knowledge should unite, not divide, and that education should be free from barriers.
