Also, just to add - this is not an individual decision of a single community. The ASF observes steady decline (and fast) of both engagement and followership on X, while significant increase on BlueSky and Fediverse. I have not checked our stats as I personally quit X months ago as I found it abusive and useless. But this is a universal trend observed in other tech-focused communities.
So we are following our users and developers where they go. While ASF has not (yet) decided to quit X, it's completely up to the PMC to decide which social media they want to use, and it's always been decision of the PMC. J.
