Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons

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.

Now I wish they had an ARM Qualcomm distro. Been hoping for a Linux distro for my Snapdragon X Elite machine. Now Debian had taken a stand for something they will probably be my distro once there is Linux support for my machine!

The X Window System (aka X.Org or X11) has been the default window system in many distros. Recently there has been a new window system called Wayland, so the joke would be that Debian is dropping X11 and switching to Wayland.

Great news, Thank you Debian community!

There are lots of brands and people still on X and try to justify it with hand waving.

The other twist is, unlike Xitter, you don't have to create an account on Mastodon to be able to read their feed. You can access it like any other website. So nobody is getting shut out. They're just posting elsewhere, where anyone can read it.
