Why did I think this was about Wayland?

[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 7 points 16 hours ago

It is, they are switching from X to wayland.social, a mastodon instance.

(/s, they aren't actually doing this though.)

The reasoning behind this move is said to be X/Twitter not being in line with Debian's shared values

Makes sense and saved you all a click.

Honestly, I don't need to see reasons. Or rather, I already see the reasons. What I don't see any reason for is staying unless you're a fascist.

Every time someone posts something on that place or a link to there, I just assume they are the sort of person who is fine being in the room with Nazis.

About time. Could've been done way earlier.

Unfortunately the accounts listed under Social network accounts of Debian teams and Social network accounts of Debian contributors are almost exclusively Twitter accounts.
