I was reminded this weekend seeing leaflets like this that sometimes people can be just plain wrong. (Source: https://suffragettes.nls.uk/sources/source-24 )
Can we the Internets suggest a platform for @Gargron to use for blog posts instead of a proprietary system controlled by a single company?
When I get time I will be looking at putting my videos on PeerTube.
Blender is testing PeerTube after YouTube blocks their videos worldwide

Hey, you can get @viTekiM 's R-COIL for $2 right now.
https://vectorhat.itch.io/r-coil
R-COIL is "what if Asteroids were 870% cooler and had particle effects?". It's really fun.
It also has a mode where you don't have to worry about lives or scoreboards, you can just shoot asteroids and alien ships to your heart's content. It's great stress relief.

By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).
#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
"I left Mastodon yesterday"
In fine Mastodon storming-off tradition, I've written a flipping long Medium post.

@bob @bumi Unfortunately, the core issue for OSS projects remains the network for people finding your stuff and becoming contributors without friction. Private projects are a non-issue imo. I think we need to solve federated forking and merge requests, including code comments etc., unless we all want to lose valuable contributions.
