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?

yeah, it’s so inconvenient to not directly support the nazi platform

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

Its that social inertia, and I get it.
I ran a neighborhood group's social media, and even after FB turned openly shitty, I had to stay on there, because thats where people are.
I mean, I could have pushed the org to drop them, but then we would have lost the eyeballs of thousands of neighbor's we're trying to work FOR.
Same deal with Twitter, they've just gotten to the point where most NPOs lose less by leaving than they would by staying.

If I ran an org, that needed to reach a community of say... 1000 people in need, and 900 of those people were ONLY on twitter, guess what?
That org needs to be on twitter, even if President Musk is profiting from it. Otherwise, the org would be remiss in their mission.
