DANS stops using X

29 January 2025

From February 1 2025, DANS will no longer actively communicate via X (formerly Twitter). While our account will remain available as an archive of past posts, we’ve chosen to focus on platforms that better align with our values and community engagement. 

 “Although we have a large audience on X, it no longer felt right to stay. We noticed many large institutions, both nationally and internationally, leaving the platform. This, combined with our values of trustworthiness, unity, and involvement, led to our decision.”, says Anja Smit, director of DANS.  

The current DANS account on X will remain accessible, but no new posts will be published after January 2025. Instead, we encourage everyone to connect with us on LinkedIn, Mastodon, and our newest channel, Bluesky. You can stay updated by signing up for our monthly newsletter, DataLink.  

DANS thanks everyone who has followed us on X over the past years and looks forward to continuing to engage with our community on other channels.
