Summary
PHP.net links to the PHP project's account on X, the site formerly known as Twitter. This RFC from Jim Winstead asked to remove those links, using a small pull request to the PHP.net website.
Why change it
The RFC says the PHP project hasn't posted on X since 2023, so the account is dormant. It also objects to the site itself, calling X "a political project of a transphobic and white supremacist owner," and argues PHP has no reason to be there.
To back that up, the RFC links to two outside pieces: the EFF's post about leaving X, and a Wired article about the site's politics.
What the RFC would do
It would remove the links to the X account from PHP.net, which would end PHP's official presence on X.
The RFC was edited twice during the discussion. One change made clear that the account is dormant rather than out of the project's control. The other explained what the author meant by "the current nature of the site."
What it means for you
Nothing changes in PHP itself or in your code. This RFC only covers links on the PHP.net website.
