We stopped posting on X for several reasons:

  1. The owner is a nazi
  2. The owner censors non- nazis and promotes nazis and their messages
  3. (Hence) most people who remain on X or are clueless and have difficulty parsing written text (one would assume), or are nazis
  4. Most of the new followers we were getting were nazi-propaganda spewing bots (7 out of 10 on average) or just straight up nazis.

Our community is not made up of nazis and many of our friendly contributors would be the target of nazi harassment, so we were not sure what we were doing there and stopped posting and left.

We are happy with that decision and have no intention of reversing it.

      I think this might’ve been a misreading of the email. It looks to me like there was an email to the kde dev asking why kde stopped posting to their X account with concern that they wouldn’t get the hype that DHH and the ladybird browser get by reposting their mastodon Posts to X. The kde dev then responds with the text in the body of this post.
