I couldn’t be happier or prouder, and it's all thanks to a spare-time open-source project.

Someone just shared that they created their own version of Leave X - Protect Democracy, mapping Canadian politicians on the Fediverse.

Get Canadian Politicians on the Fediverse

Elbows Up Digital (elbowsupdigital.ca)

After restarting the project a few days ago and adding statistics about European politicians on X, I was surprised when someone contributed data from the Netherlands in less than 24 hours.

A few days later, an anonymous contributor used the power of open data to send data from Austria . Recently, someone from Sweden  has joined in as well.

This is what open source looks like: distributed, collaborative, and driven by shared values.

This weekend, I'll be at FODESM, where I hope to speak with politicians and tell them, loud and clear:

Ditch the autocrats’ propaganda.
Leave X. Now.
