Watershed joined Twitter/X in July 2008. 

We have spent over 16 years building up a friendly network and community of over 80,000 audiences, customers, partners, funders and friends. 

We dedicated a huge amount of time, energy and care to our relationships and content, and had one of the most engaged audiences in our industry, recognised by our peers and deeply appreciated and loved by the staff that have run our account.

However, Twitter/X is sadly now a dramatically different place.

Twitter/X has been in a constant state of crisis and controversy for some time (since before Elon Musk’s purchase). From removing safeguards, promoting hate speech and outrage, and rewarding and incentivising disturbing and sensational content, it is now a platform that is in direct conflict with our values. 

So from Fri 20 Dec we will no longer be posting on Twitter/X. We will keep our account open as an archive only.

It’s a sad end, but we have been asking ourselves how we can say we are a values-led organisation whilst actively using a platform that promotes irresponsible content and hateful behaviour.

It was good while it lasted. 

We hope you can follow and engage with us on our channels listed below – you’re the best audience out there, and we don’t want to lose our connection to you. 

Thank you for all your support, and see you on the platforms below ♥
