Mastodawn

Some #FreeSoftware devs are unironically the BIGGEST advocates for #GitHub; it's so bad they have mutated into #Microsoft's unofficial #marketing department.

Most pro-GitHub advocacy that I've been exposed to in my life does not come from #Microsoft marketing, but from fellow free software devs.

Bizarre.

@Wuzzy So what is the proposed alternative(s)?

See https://giveupgithub.org - scroll down to "Resources to Give Up GitHub".

See also https://forgefed.org for the forge federation project.

Add add a thumbsup or upvote and/or comment at
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/27765 to try to wean #Mastodon development away from Microsoft.
