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.)
You love to see it
Unfortunately the accounts listed under Social network accounts of Debian teams and Social network accounts of Debian contributors are almost exclusively Twitter accounts.
i will check what they switched to in the article, edit after i find out
edit: own platforms
