Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons
-
-
The reasoning behind this move is said to be X/Twitter not being in line with Debian's shared values

Good for them. It's an organisation's free choice to pick the platforms they post and interact on, if any. Their presence is a service in itself while there are plenty of other ways to follow or reach them if needed.

Last time they seeked input they ignored it and shoved systemd anyway...
-
They were still on Xitter?

As it turns out, having an account on a social media platform full of Nazis, violent racists, and child diddlers is not good for business.
-
Oh but look at this deleted draft PR release that was committed that doesn't really say anything spicy and was later sharpened up to reflect the intentions of the author.
-
I don't mind, actually everyone should ditch Twatter.
-
Yeah what the fuck is with that.
It's a very twitter centric view of the web. If you're not on xitter you're "shutting out a significant portion".
The thing is, it's not simply that Musk has an ideology that is disparate from my own, he has an agenda that is egregiously contrary to the stated values of the Debian project.
You'd consult with the community over a new logo or blog layout maybe, but on whether to assist Musk in his far right agenda there's not really any decision to be made honestly.

Does Wayland has its own Mastodon instance? If yes, they could do a funny.

For now that was just a bot mirroring posts. I don't think they've said whether they'll use that going forward.
