LibreOffice post:
We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

Nice to see it happen at some point, but you gotta look sideways at anyone who didn't leave the moment it started being a platform for AI-generated CSAM (or any number of other controversies over the years).

    As soon as Elon bought it I was out. I don’t know how anyone could have a clear conscience on there after that happened.

    Well, I don't think we knew the full extent of how bad Elon Musk was when he bought Twitter.

    For me it was that submersible situation where he offered to build a submersible to help some young boys trapped in a cave in another part of the world (South America? Southeast Asia?) and the locals said they had it under control. He accused them of being paedophiles who wanted the boys to themselves. I thought from that point it was pretty clear what Musk was after. We got confirmation years later, of course (when he appeared in the Trump-Epstein files).

    Always concerned to see so many just not leave the CSAM Nazi bar because engagement or some bullshit.

    Kudos, but what took them so much time?

    Can we stop crossposting the same link to 3 communities? A lot of us already follow multiple.

    Some of us don't mind, as we use platforms that aggregate all of the cross posts in to one place, and show all of the comments together!

    I'd like to add Piefed to my aggregator, but its RSS feeds are a little too bare-bones to be usable. No descriptions or authors? Just the article title and a link?

    Many times I've used piefed, wrote a comment, some longer some shorter, and without fail, it denied posting after writing it out but without telling me specifically why I can't post. Just no permission. Consequently, it never stuck to me.

    Most people on Mastodon already use or at least know about LibreOffice, so I feel like this is kinda a dumb move from them.

    Leaving TwitterX is always a good idea
