Hello, Mastodon family! It's been a long time coming, but Xubuntu has officially left X behind! https://x.com/Xubuntu/status/1886754277177123276 If you're still using X, consider sharing our update to spread awareness. We'll continue to bring you the best of #Xfce and #Linux... all in one place. (edit: because everything is confusing and nothing makes sense... we're leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, not X11. Wayland is still very much in the future!)

    As one cannot view Twitter without an account there, I sort of tend to assume everybody have left it by now. It’s crazy to me that this is not the case.

      Are you aware that more than half of American voters just placed a self described fascist with progressive dementia in charge of their country? I think you may need to recalibrate your assumptions about human behavior.

        Not to be pedantic, but more than 3/4 of US voters “voted” for the orange chucklefuck. The ones that did vote for him and the ones that didn’t vote at all.

          Thats the opposite of pedantic because it’s just factually wrong.

      You can browse Twitter content here on the fediverse on Mastodon. Just find an instance that supports bird.makeup


      To the people getting butthurt: for some people this is a real necessity. I live in a region with many natural disasters, and Twitter is the place I used to go to get weather updates. I don’t use Twitter anymore, but I’d also rather not die. So I’ll use bird.makeup instead.

      You generally can view a post w/o an account, just no comments associated with that post.
