HUH?
Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.
The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.

Distrowatch is now also (finally) on #Mastodon. Let's welcome and follow them:
@distrowatch #Mastodon #Meta #Linux #Fediverse
@Kletskous @distrowatch unless the "bot" label on that account is erroneous, I fear "welcoming it" won't do a whole lot. It's most likely just an RSS-to-toots-thingy, not someone interacting.
I hope I'm wrong, though.
@max You were right. Sorry for that. The new and official acount is @distrowatch
@Kletskous This is so hilarious. I dropped FB in 2014 and never looked back.
