Notices by DistroWatch (distrowatch@mastodon.social)

For people looking for us on Bluesky, we have an account which mirrors this one: https://bsky.app/profile/distrowatch.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

Good tips from @murena about protecting privacy, particularly when on-line: https://e.foundation/5-reasons-to-protect-your-privacy-on-mobile-phones-why-data-privacy-matters/

@janneke Perhaps. Though I'd like to point out we didn't "switch" to the fediverse. We didn't have an official presence on FB. Other people set up RSS feed reposting bots on FB and Twitter to follow us. (Someone did on Mastodon too.)

This is our first social media account.

@elaterite Thanks. We've never had a social media account before for DistroWatch. This is our first, just seemed like the time to do it since the unofficial/fan accounts were being shut down.

@bbbhltz It appeared to be global. But we've been hearing this afternoon that some people can post links to us on FB again. It might be enough people appealed/complained that they've reversed their position?

This is our first post, following the Facebook ban on us talking about Linux.
