As far as where theyve chosen to post instead (from the article):

Starting July 6, City of Waterloo announcements will be communicated on municipal websites and other social media already used by city hall such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Vimeo.

City hall will maintain an X account but only to direct people elsewhere, Abbott said.

[...]

The city does not plan at this time to communicate on alternate platforms that have been established as alternatives to X.
