Is it so hard to believe that some people do not want to mix software advocacy with political advocacy? It no more bad faith than people arguing that they want to keep their professional life and personal life separate.
I find it much easier to trust Debian if they don't involve themself with world politics and focus on software freedoms. Same with a company if they focus on being a company rather than a political advocacy.
Advocating for the right of minorities and other disadvantaged groups to exist is not “world politics” and it saddens me that I’ve had to say this multiple times on this site.

The top-level topic was the stated reason for Debian to stop posting on X, which was “[…] we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.”. This does not even name who is feeling unsafe, and certainly does not say that X is against the existence of “minorities and other disadvantaged groups”.
And this is not even relevant to our subtopic in this tree, where I have never argued against the existence of anyone. It is utterly disingenous of you to cast aspersions that everyone not agreeing with you – in this case me – are standing with what X is being indirectly accused of.
