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.

Never underestimate the network effect and how reluctant people are to move to another social network. The masses just follow the crowd, so every big account moving out from there helps take more users away.

Yes, I'm sadly surprised by many open source projects still posting on that cesspool

I think Bluesky can be an exception. I think it's way better than Mastodon from a UX standpoint. And it's still open.

The problem is for organizations it's harder to leave because that is where the people you want to reach are. That's the only reason any org or company is on social media in the first place. If they leave too soon they risk too many people not seeing the things they send out to the community.
It's more an individual thing because so many people just have social inertia and haven't left since everyone they know is already there. The first to leave have to decide if they want to juggle using another platform to keep connections or cut off connections by abandoning the established platform.

I didn't really need another reason to love Debian more but here we are... I'm donating to Debian today

Debian already has an ARM version. Do you mean some Qualcomm drivers are missing? There are already Ubuntu ROMs for Android phones, so this shouldn't be an issue, right?

Good, now if only OpenSource devs switched from Discord to let's say Matrix/XMPP
We'd be partying
