We decided to leave Twitter / X on January 20, 2025. We just don’t feel like it is the best place to be for our community anymore. Starting now, Mastodon (and, new, Bluesky) will become our flagship social media accounts.

If you are coming from Twitter, welcome to Mastodon! If you are from here, we are looking forward to engaging more with the posts here!
