Our X (Twitter) account has been restricted again, and this time it's not yet been restored.
We're unsure why this keeps happening — could it be the name FOSS 'Android'? Or maybe because we promoted our Mastodon account? If you have any insights, drop them in the comments.

In the meantime, we won’t be focusing on X for now.
