Why not keep both?

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."

Because taking a side is more important to them than reaching as wide an audience as possible. Not making any value judgment here, but that's the situation.

Wording it that way sounds shallow.

They've decided X stands counter to their principles, and are risking a decrease in audience.
