Dropping Support for Twitter/X

Since its launch in 2021, Frontend Dogma has supported Twitter/X for attributing authors and publishers.
Twitter/X was already a difficult platform at that point, but it was popular in the community.
With Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter in 2022, everything got worse. X, the company, and X, the platform, began sending all the wrong signals, most of all contempt for various groups of people.
Frontend Dogma gradually reduced its support for Twitter/X to the point of making it “Twitter/X last.”
Today, Frontend Dogma is discontinuing all support for Twitter/X.
This means that if you're an author or publisher who is only active on Twitter/X, Frontend Dogma will no longer attribute you.
For a grace period, Frontend Dogma will retain metadata of authors and publishers who were previously only attributable on Twitter/X. If you’re an author or publisher whose work is featured on Frontend Dogma and who has recently started a presence on Mastodon or Bluesky, you can contact us to have your previous attributions updated and restored.
We ask everyone to take more responsibility, and to demand the same of our platforms. Leave the hate behind, and take more care of others.
