Leaving by  X-ample?

Across the last few months many Christian organisations and individual evangelicals are among those who have left social media platform X.

Reaction to this has been varied – do Christians have an obligation to be a light in dark places (there are over 600 million on X)? Or is our presence on the platform implicitly condoning what goes on there?

One easy mistake to make in this debate is to assume that ‘all social media is the same’ – that Bluesky, Threads, or TikTok are ‘just as bad’, and if you abandon one you should probably abandon them all. They each have trolls, don’t they? Fallen human nature will be the same on every platform, won’t it?
