The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe. You are very much invited to follow us on bits.debian.org , on micronews.debian.org/ , or any media as listed on wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicit… #debian

reshared this

It really sucks that this is a step that has to be taken, given how big that platform is, but I completely understand. Much of the content on Twitter these days seems to run completely counter to point 1 of the code of conduct (Be respectful). I deleted my Twitter some time ago after the Musk takeover because I couldn't scroll for more than just a minute without seeing hateful content from people I wasn't even following being "recommended" to me.

Really? You had no problems with having debconf hosted in the Zionist state. You even refer to that illegal entity by the name "Israel". Does the Debian project have the same values as the Zionist state?
I understand a free software project not wanting to be on a proprietary platform, but this is ridiculous.
