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.
bad bot
Did it make a mistake?
Doesn’t look like it… It’s ‘AI bad’.
Ah I see. This is getting ridiculous.
AI is bad!
We don’t need to use all this water and energy just to avoid having to click on news articles.
I wonder where you draw the line of when the use of resources for technology is okay and when it isn’t.
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.
Imagine being so fragile you can’t tolerate opposing viewpoints.
I don’t respect Nazis
Nazi = Anyone I disagree with
Imagine being so fragile you get shook by people leaving
Nice straw-man, oh wait here comes the rain, it’s melting… guess there was nothing of substance there after all…
Imagine your view point is aligning with Musk one… You’re either a billionaire or a dumb looser thinking is a part of a club he isn’t in
Shouldn’t you be out burning teslas? You know, save the planet with EVs… oh nevermind you don’t actually have any convictions …just programming…
Are you really rage answering to comments on a 2 month post on which you litteraly posted that not tolerating opposing opinion is being fragile 🤣🤣🤣
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 didn’t really need another reason to love Debian more but here we are… I’m donating to Debian today
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.
