Goodbye, Gimkit. Gimkit is betraying their community and engaging in unethical practices, so I have chosen to leave the Gimkit community.

I normally don't ask for this (this may actually be the first time in fact), but please do boost this and spread the word if you can. I have seen few people outside of the Gimkit community regulars discussing the unethical things happening.

Goodbye, Gimkit

Gimkit is betraying their community and engaging in unethical practices, so I have chosen to leave the Gimkit community.

Just made an update to the Gimkit Open Letter: https://gimkitopenletter.hexaheximal.com/update1

I *strongly* recommend reading it if you use Gimkit.

Many months ago, I created Gimhook, a modloader for Gimkit.

Now we're taking it a step further and making a free (as in freedom) rewrite/re-implementation (but still faithful to the original and compatible with the original API), starting with the frontend codebase.

Last spring, my 12-yo created a wix website with forums, in order to collaborate on Gimkit Creative projects with other kids (since #Gimkit's official forums don't allow users to share links to maps). Since then, his site has registered well over a thousand users, with hundreds of visits per day. He's spent many hours managing the site: curating content, moderating comments, appointing other moderators, and setting the general tone for this community -- which is juvenile but friendly, and largely respectful, with appropriate conduct expectations, from everything I've seen (I'm CC'd on most of the messages he gets). It probably helps that all forums are private (everyone has to submit a request to join in order to read/comment).

Adult #ESOL class started today. As usual, I have a great group of students in class. Looking forward to working with them for the next 2 months.

I "work" 7 days a week (#k12 Mon to Fri, adults on weekend), but teaching ESOL doesn't feel like work when it is what you want to do anyhow.

In related news, debating if I should renew #Gimkit for another year or not. Don't use it that much, but when I do, it is well received.
