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

Bits from the Debian Project

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.

#Debian as we love it: Safe, sane, consensual!

If only administrations, governments, and politicians would make the same step and join the #fediverse!

could you please go to openportability.org/ to tell the platform about your account on X / Masto / Bluesky (if applicable) so that other people who migrate can follow you automagically? ❤

Should have done this the moment Space Karen started unbanning Nazis and making changes to the moderation.

Now do Meta's spyware "services" since they want to censor any post mentioning anything Linux.

There isn't a too late in this regard. Glad you've switched. Please don't limit it to the birdsite and abandon all silos. Time to reclaim the web and make sure this doesn't happen again.

No more silos. No more big tech. No more Space Karens..

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.

It's great to see all these organizations coming around to making the right decision pretty much immediately after the consequences of their failure to do it when it was necessary manifest.

I couldn't believe the replies on Twitter almost all of them calling this a woke move. Maybe all of them are bots?

Either way, fuckin A! Well done y'all!

Sad moment - this will exclude so many people (especially beginners). Guess other Debian based distributions will happily catch those people.

By doing it this way, you should at least leave all non-opensource platforms.

You still are my favourite #distro team!
