I just avoid the AUR on Manjaro whenever possible. It still works 99% of the time. The few things I actually need to be bleeding edge I will just try to build from source.

But why? Just pick a new name and fork

They aren’t stupid to abandon the brand and community just like that and start from nothing. The team plans to start a nonprofit that will work alongside and not under the current Manjaro company. They do say that if Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG declines, or the feel that they are dragging their heels (which they have done) they will start a strike. They are doing this rn. If that fails then they will just move to the next stage which is to leave and/or fork the project.

I guess something needed to be done.

X has 600 million users, Mastodon 9-10 million. Even if you assume 2/3 of Xitter are bots, that’s still 20x difference in reach. You should know that you and I are not “normal” for using Mastodon. A group of randomly picked people 9/10 will know of X/twitter, maybe 3/10 have heard of Mastodon.

Leave X for Mastodon

I hope they don’t phase X out, because that would be a social media suicide. Orgs, public personas and projects are not average users and can’t really care about personal preference or user experience, they only need to care where people are. They are there to get social media reach and just jumping out of Xitter would harm their social media presence and the project.

the real misdirection is focusing on individuals and their blame. The real question is why does UK political system produces these people rule and how do they keep ruling.

What is the fundamental difference. Evil men and arrogant idiots might as well be the same thing.
