The following bug has been logged on the website:

Description:

Dear PostgreSQL Community Team,  

I hope this message finds you well.  

I would like to bring to your attention a small issue on the PostgreSQL
documentation page. While browsing, I noticed that the Twitter logo
displayed still features the old bird icon instead of the updated "X" logo
following Twitter's recent rebranding.  

As Twitter has transitioned to its new identity as "X," updating the logo on
your website would help maintain visual consistency and reflect the current
branding accurately.  

Thank you for your continued efforts in maintaining such a valuable resource
for the PostgreSQL community. Please feel free to reach out if you need
further clarification regarding this matter.  

Best regards,  
Guido

I propose we simply remove any links to Twitter from the website.

I'm inclined to agree.  Without placing any value judgment on either platform,
the fact that the social media landscape is highly fragmented these days (as
opposed to when the site redesign was launched) makes removing the logo more
appealing than fixing it (since fixing it IMHO opens up for listing multiple
networks).  It might be more relevant to list postgres presence on social media
under Community or Support and reclaim some vertical space (the Git link can
also be removed, few if any will likely be helped by that).

To keep it from being missed by interested parties this should be raised on
-www of course.
