@WordPress Welcome? The bitly link in the bio doesn't list Mastodon with the others. Also, you don't need to use a link shortener.
-
@WTL @WordPress Uh… I’m skeptical about this. Mastodon is not listed on the bitly-linked page.
-
@WordPress About time you got here - so good to see you!
And can we then remove Twitter from all the community docs and get back to the core values of preaching diversity and tolerance?

@Ellegaarddk @WordPress I agree too! Twitter has become heaven for homophobia, ableism, sexism and all the rubbish this world has to offer. However, I feel kind of dilemma on this subject: if big "diversity-friendly" communities leave Twitter, they can not be a resistance voice there! It's like a cleaner. You clean where it's dirty, not where it's already clean LOL

@talksina @WordPress But by using it as the main channel, they accept it.
It's mentioned as the channel to use for Meetups and WordCamps and that's just wrong. It's a dying platform and the users we want to reach isn't there!And as long as it just used for marketing and not for speaking up about injustice etc. - then they're not doing any cleaning anywhere. ️

@Ellegaarddk @WordPress So we must pressure them to leave x-shitter (this one is that platform's appropriate name). Having been myself a speaker for a couple wordcamps and never relied on that rubbish platform, I did never consider them to be the main communication space for WordPress folks. Every #WordPress user and organizer who cares for WP's health should leave x-shitter.
-
@talksina @WordPress We are in agreement here.
-
@Ellegaarddk @WordPress Think that Elon Musket has fired all x-shitter's accessibility team, this is a clear sign of all what the platform is for.
