Hello, world!
Following recent changes at Twitter, the new home of the X.Org Foundation is here on Mastodon. Please follow for the latest in the Linux graphics world and the freedesktop.org community. Going forward, we will no longer post to Twitter, but we're so excited to join the Fediverse!
@downey Thank you!
@XOrgFoundation Welcome! Followed :)
@ayo Thank you!
メッツォ
@XOrgFoundation Welcome to the Fediverse! And thumbs up for not immediately going with the flagship instance (i.e. mastodon.social) but a somewhat medium-sized one 
@XOrgFoundation @mezzodrinker x.org using wayland logo? damn.
anyway welcome to fedi <3
@realercatgirl @mezzodrinker Thank you! Despite the name, the X.Org Foundation supports development of the entire FOSS graphics stack, including both X11 and Wayland (as well as graphics drivers).
@XOrgFoundation welcome to the fediverse! didn't even know y'all used to have a twitter presence ^^
@obsidianical Thank you! 
@neil @XOrgFoundation now why might that be? surely not because of something beginning with an M and ending in a K? no, surely not!!
@guiltmanager @neil Due to recent changes at Twitter, the X.Org Foundation's board voted at our meeting today to make the switch.
@XOrgFoundation @neil don't blame you one little bit and hope you will be happier on mastodon. guess you already know about creating your own instance. I'm running my very own one, tooting from it right now.
@XOrgFoundation May X11 live yet longer and prosper
@project1enigma Between native X11 users and Xwayland users, the X server isn't going anywhere 
@XOrgFoundation glad. Native X11 user since around 1993.
@CMDoran Thank you!
@colt Thank you!
@XOrgFoundation Glad you’re here
@XOrgFoundation@floss.social That's great!! Welcome onboard! Consider self-hosting!! also remember Mastodon is not your only option, neither is it the best one IMO.
Self hosting provides some benefits ESPECIALLY for an organisation.
1. You're verified by your own domain
2. Easier to find multiple related accounts (you could also host @XOrgDevConf@floss.social there)
3. You get to choose what software you want to use
4. You get to add your own emojis (and icons and etc)
And many more stuff, if you want a very good example of how this might work, you can have a look at how the European Commission have set up their Fedi instance:
https://social.network.europa.eu/
@EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu
@cody @EU_Commission @XOrgFoundation @XOrgDevConf
That's the very problem of Mastodon
It's too complicated
The vast majority of those who those want to leave Twitter for it's inhumaneness, really only want to discuss, not to navigate through software questions etc
Simplicity is the only way one can compete with Twitter
If people don't like that and prefer to use something other than the fediverse, that's fine. Its okay to be different.
@cody @EU_Commission @XOrgFoundation @XOrgDevConf
Yeah, they should selfhost and put a banner "X.org, the everything Foundation for FOSS graphics and more" above the instance. :D
(Or some other pun at "X, the everything app". Or just directly that term, maybe with "?!" added)
@XOrgFoundation Welcome to the Fediverse!
@ddr Thank you!
@XOrgFoundation Hello and welcome to the slightly better place!
@gfxstrand Thank you! 
@XOrgFoundation So when is the X server getting ActivityPub support
@givemefoxes That sounds like it might increase the attack surface 
@givemefoxes @XOrgFoundation ActivityPub is just a protocol, it's the job of desktop compositors to implement it properly. ;)
@XOrgFoundation Welcome to the club! :)
@NBCactus Thank you!
