There will be peace when we have killed enough Nazis.

Right. Just completely ignore the disparity in wealth...
Gonna ignore you now btw. Goodbye.

Were they using X to provide updates exclusively?
My impression from the post is that they are publishing the exact same updates in multiple locations, including https://framapiaf.org/@debian
I do agree with the move, but only because Debian being an open source project should stay away from proprietary platforms.. not because they were somehow shutting people off by publishing the news in more places.

I think the argument is that those alternatives already existed before. Twitter was not being prioritized. So effectively, there's one less place where the news will be visible.
However, I do agree with the move, but only because Debian being a FOSS initiative should stay away from proprietary platforms and promote FOSS, even if it means effectively "shutting off" a portion of users who not wanna leave the twitter bubble.

First it is reinventing the wheel, xmpp exists for a very long time, second there are only a few server implantations, third the resource consumption of them is so high that you can't really run it reliably oh a raspberry pi for your family

Point taken (Although I don't see any issues with re-inventing the wheel), I really wished XMPP had riddiculously good bridging capabilities
Then XMPP Would be perfect

If you ask me, this looks like a big possibility, as X/Twitter's evident bias towards the newly established U.S. government and their favoring of one demographic over the other could have set off Debian's move.
That's just me speculating, though.
No, you got it right. I get that you need to cover your ass to avoid a lawsuit, but it's exactly because a guy who loves the adoration of nazis owns the platform.

Adding a bit more context, X.Org/X11 is often just called X for short

The answer (IMO) is to open another channel and announce it so people can migrate. And start using more the other channels, using each time FB/X a little less, until (almost) everyone has left FB/X.

You're forgetting the (often) free labor used to make changes like this are limited.
I, for example, did not get paid for the 20 hrs/week I was putting into the organization, as I was also a board member, their IT person, and for a couple of periods, board president...
Its a cost/benefit analysis.

Open another channel and tell everyone that the main channel is the new one. And tell them how to join the new channel, step by step.

I still use it. For that which I engage, or who I engage with, it hasn't changed for me. Almost 100% for metal bands. Tours, album releases. We have a pretty cool metal community going. People I've been speaking with for many years now.
Leaving a platform you don't like, or the reasons you don't like it, isn't "common sense".

How does one not feel safe on a digital platform? Even if someone physically threatens you, nothing is going to happen to you. And you can block/mute people you don't care for.

Maybe we'll go back to forums.
I hope BBS's make a comeback. Pixilated titles and all..
