The Debian Publicity Team is stepping away from X/Twitter, citing concerns over values and diversity.

    Personally, I think that the discussion around this will evolve as the news spreads, but I agree with Robert on this one. Sure, X/Twitter has become a less welcoming place than before, but shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn’t a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.

    Nah, I think I’m cool if Debian doesn’t respect the input of Nazi sympathisers.

    Good riddance. Stop using Nazi platforms and join the fediverse instead.

    The reasons (summarized using Copilot):

    • The platform no longer aligns with Debian’s values, social contract, code of conduct, and diversity statement.
    • Concerns over X becoming a place where people they care about don’t feel safe.
    • Abuse on the platform happening without consequences.
    • Issues with misinformation and lack of moderation.

              I wonder where you draw the line of when the use of resources for technology is okay and when it isn’t.

      I wont downvote you but you arent undestanding it. People like Trump and Musk are radical ones and they want “to clean” LGBT+ under view of “they are pedophiles”. Trump is said to be “anti vaccines” but he paid in advance for them and he wrote 200 orders like Javier Milei super law of basis, (ley omnibus) with modifications for 300+ laws. This is an anti democratic behaviour.

      I don’t mind opposing views. I do mind views that say some of my family members or some of my friends should kill themselves. I have no business on a platform that allows such hateful conduct, end of story.

      It’s a matter of basic decency and respect.

      Debian continues to be one of the best distros ever made. If I had the means, it would get funding every time I run apt update.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
