Why we’re switching from X to BlueSky—and why you should too

16 January 2025

Every drop of water matters, just as every online choice shapes the digital landscape. That’s why we’re moving to BlueSky. It’s a decision rooted in our mission to create a fairer, more sustainable world—and we’re inviting you to join us. Here’s why:

1. Build bridges, not walls

Collaboration is at the heart of our work. Together with global partners, we improve access to clean and safe water, uniting communities regardless of background. Polarisation and toxicity have no place in our mission to create positive change. BlueSky provides a space where diversity and empathy are celebrated, creating the conditions for meaningful connections. It’s about equity, shared responsibility, and moving forward together. 

2. Stand for truth in a world of misinformation

Misinformation is a rising challenge, especially in sectors like water management, where data and facts drive impact. BlueSky stands apart by fostering an environment of accountability, where reliable, verified content thrives. As an organisation that depends on science and data, we refuse to let disinformation divide communities or derail critical discussions. Truth over fiction—it’s that simple. 

3. Support democracy and accountability 

The actions of influential figures, including the owner of platform X, have raised concerns about their potential impact on democratic principles in the US and EU. As advocates for transparency and accountability—the bedrock of any healthy democracy—we emphasise the importance of putting people and human rights first. Decentralised platforms like BlueSky provide a promising alternative, fostering an environment that prioritises free speech and democratic values over corporate interests. 

4. Take climate action seriously

The impacts of climate change are no longer theoretical—they’re reality. Every day, we see the effects of droughts, floods, and water scarcity in the communities we support. Denying climate change isn’t just wrong; it’s dangerous. BlueSky offers a space to engage with like-minded individuals who, like us, believe that a healthy water cycle should be treated as a global common good, for future generations, in the interest of all. 

5. Reclaim your values with a stronger moral compass

Platforms have a responsibility to foster safe and ethical environments for their users. When those values are compromised, it’s time to take a stand. By switching to BlueSky, we are aligning with our principles. It’s a platform that prioritises inclusivity and community. Let’s make it clear that we don’t silently accept what doesn’t align with our vision for a better future. 

Be the change you want to see 

We are committed to collaboration, integrity, and action. Join us as we help shape a better digital and environmental future:
