~~Translated headline:~~

~~Flipboard is abandoning X for Mastodon / Flipboard is not actually abandoning X.~~

Edit: Thinking more about it, I think the wise thing is to announce it like this so the head brat at Xitter doesn't revoke their account and hand it to someone else.

The actual headline:

Flipboard is abandoning X for Mastodon / The platform says it will hold on to its accounts and retweet from time to time, but it plans to focus on Mastodon and other social platforms instead.

My initial perception was focusing on the fact that that's not abandoning it. That's keeping one foot in the door, just in case.

Thinking more about it, I think the wise thing is to announce it like this so the head brat at Xitter doesn't revoke their account and hand it to someone else. Editing my statement above, too.
