If you used to follow the Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Twitter, please read! We have left the platform, so you should follow us elsewhere.

Over the past few weeks we warned that we would be leaving Twitter. If you did not notice those posts, but have just realized that you can no longer follow us on Twitter, that’s because we did, in fact, delete our account on that platform. Please switch to another platform and follow us there. We have a Facebook group, a LinkedIn group, and a YouTube channel (though obviously only videos appear there, not all daily posts). In addition, a popular choice is to follow us directly on the website, by providing your email (in the box on the right side of the page if you view the website on a computer; use the triple bar (≡) at top left if you view it on a phone). That gets you an email daily or weekly, your choice.

Hoping to see you on other platforms. (None of the other options currently available, such as Mastadon or Threads, seem appropriate, but if you have strong feelings about where this community should be located, do send an email about that.)

If you follow the Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Twitter, please read! We are leaving the platform, so you should follow us elsewhere.

Several weeks ago we sent out a request for emails if anyone would be inconvenienced by CID leaving Twitter. In response, we only received two emails, both in favor of the move. While the ads on the site disappeared for a day, they are now back in significant numbers, 99% of them ads of no interest to us. Therefore, as of  this Friday, 28 July, we will stop posting to or following others on Twitter.

If you are one of the 753 people or organizations currently following us on Twitter, please switch to another platform and follow us there. We have a Facebook group, a LinkedIn group, and a YouTube channel (though obviously only videos appear there, not all daily posts). In addition, a popular choice is to follow us directly on the website, by providing your email (in the box on the right side of the page if you view the website on a computer; use the triple bar (≡) at top left if you view it on a phone). That gets you an email daily or weekly, your choice.

If you follow the Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Twitter, please read! We are considering leaving the platform, and need to hear from anyone that would inconvenience.

CID has been on Twitter for a decade and currently has 657 followers there, but the promoted tweets are starting to take over our feed. The Center also has a Facebook group (2,001 members), and a LinkedIn group (612 members). It is also possible to directly follow the website as 1,442 people do now by providing your email (in the box on the right side of the page if you view the website on a computer; use the triple bar (≡) at top left if you view it on a phone). Presumably most of our followers on Twitter will be able to follow one of the other platforms.

If you would find that terribly inconvenient (because you’re not on FB or LI, or you don’t wish to receive notifications of posts via email), you need to let us know by sending an email before July 17, 2023. If leaving Twitter would cause difficulty for a sizable group, we will stay – at least for the time being (we cannot promise more). But if we do not hear an outpouring of objections, we will be leaving that platform, and asking you to follow us using any of the other options.
