it's clearly explained in their pinned tweet and linked article https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31499226,wychodzimy-z-x-do-zobac...

"We have been maturing to decide to leave X for a long time. We’ve watched the growing stake in fake, throud major accounts that are increasingly shaking the narrative on this platform. We have seen that X not only does not fight, but even promotes hate and disinformation posts."

IMO this should be a top level comment, but the topic is going to be flagged dead anyway so...

oop, already happened. This website, I swear...

“shaking the narrative”

What narrative? Their narrative?

The translation above is really bad. It was probably supposed to be "shaping the narrative", not "shaking". In my opinion, this translation is much closer to the original:

"We had been contemplating leaving X for quite some time. We observed the growing presence of fake, troll accounts that increasingly steer the narrative on this platform. We saw that X not only fails to combat but actually promotes hateful and disinformation-driven posts."

Got it. Thank you. They don’t like other people (some or many of whom are bots) steering their narrative.

So the solution is to move to another platform, where the narrative is more easily steered?

funnily enough I posted twitter's translation from Polish to English
