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.

About time. Could've been done way earlier.

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.

Why did I think this was about Wayland?

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

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

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