PHP RFC: Remove the links to X.com from PHP.net

• Version: 1.0
• Date: 2026-04-12
• Author: Jim Winstead, jimw@php.net
• Status: Draft
• Implementation: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/1879

The PHP project has not posted to its account on X (formerly known as Twitter) since 2023. Due to to the current nature of the site as a political project of a transphobic and white supremacist owner, there is no reason for the PHP project to have a presence there and the links to the now-dormant account should be removed from PHP.net.

PHP will no longer have an official presence on X.com.

Primary Vote requiring a 2/3 majority to accept the RFC:
