- 6. Follow HelloQuitteX on X, Mastodon, and BlueSky, and regularly share its calls to action.
- 7. Rally support on X or LinkedIn (examples of well-crafted posts included).
- 8. Display the HelloQuitteX flyer at your workplace near the coffee machine or in your building’s common areas.

Reminder of the 3 steps before the big reconnection:
- 1. [Starting now] Download your personal X archive. This includes, among other things, the list of your followers/followees and your tweets.
- 2. [Starting now] Create an account on Mastodon and/or BlueSky.
- 3. [Starting mid-December] Share your followers/followees list with the CNRS secure migration platform. This will also allow you to link your X account to your accounts on BlueSky and Mastodon.
On #January20th, it’s the big reconnection! You’ll be able to authenticate with your BlueSky or Mastodon account on the CNRS migration platform. It will then automatically reconnect your account with the followers and followees who have also migrated to Mastodon or BlueSky. This is why it’s crucial to convince your followers to join you!
