I keep making the incorrect assumption that everyone has already left X. Just seems common sense we've hit all hands abandon ship

Personally, I think that the discussion around this will evolve as the news spreads, but I agree with Robert on this one. Sure, X/Twitter has become a less welcoming place than before, but shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn't a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.
Nah, I think I'm cool if Debian doesn't respect the input of Nazi sympathisers.

Last time they seeked input they ignored it and shoved systemd anyway...

It's just Debian, always behind.

Yeah, that section is bad.
For one, it's has classic vibe "if you want to keep the nazis out, you're the one who's exclusionary".
But also, how is refusing to engage on a platform "shutting out a significant portion of [the] community"? That sounds backwards to me. Blocking people from engaging with Debian on its own platforms would be shutting them out. The implication in the article is that Debian is obligated to be unconditionally present on every social platform its users might be on.

I don't like how people are trying to stir up dissent and drama around this. The message posted is short and on point, it includes all the important bits. There really isn't much more to add.

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.

& all the US-based corporate social media… Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, & GitHub

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.

In any case, RSS should be enough.
