"Authorities have also expanded the list of blocked websites from Google and other Western social media platforms to GitHub and Stack Overflow, popular developer tool platforms that remain available to coders in the rest of China."

Yet another reason not to have all free code development centralized on a single platform. Bring in federated code forges! @forgefed

Yes. lunny filed for registration of, I believe, 3 marks. One is fully registered now, and transferred along with the keys (control of the project, as the longest standing owner of the project) to one of the two for profit companies in Hong Kong.

The entire community is reeling, and everyone is just trying to take a deep breath and absorb what is really going on, as we cannot be completely sure yet, before jumping to rash decisions, although we’re already looking at a couple of particular possibilities.

That’s about all I can say at the moment.

Sorry I can’t offer you more at this time.

When was the #fediverse started?

Let's toot and boost.

In the beginning, it was a very small place in form of social networks, interconnected to each others.

Now, look at #Mastodon, the biggest twitter-like fedi, and today we even have #Castopod, a podcasting fedi, with 5 millions users and it's still counting.

The world's starting to accept it.

It pushes the creation & development of these social media:

Mastodon
PeerTube
#Pixelfed
#Owncast
#ForgeFriends, and
Castopod

What's more?

I agree about github, and we moved Valueflows off it in the past year. Not because of Microsoft, but because they were closing accounts based on US foreign policies.

We look forward to #ForgeFriends but moving again is daunting and disruptive.
