I think Debian should be neutral about politics. It is clearly positioning itself in the side of US Democratic Party. I don’t care about US politics, I’m not even a US citizen. I don’t like mixing technology and politics this way. I’m really ashamed by this behavior. Im okay if they don’t want to post on X/Twitter anymore. I just don’t want them giving me moral lessons in the announcement. Thinking of switching to FreeBSD or Alpine.

“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.”
