This account is for people in the filk (science fiction folk music) community. It will give news of filksings, conventions, recordings, etc. Operated by Gary McGath, author of Tomorrow's Songs Today.
File770 is back up now, though it's slow.
File770.com , a fannish news site, is offline due to a DDoS attack.
Tim Ryan, a longtime member of the filk community, has run into some financial trouble and is running a GoFundMe fundraiser. Donations will help preserve his archive of recordings. https://gofund.me/c81e1dd6
If you've had trouble reserving a room for GaFilk, you may want to try again. They've expanded their hotel room block.
Seeing hints of a New Year's Eve online filk, but it looks like a very Facebook-centric operation, so I haven't been able to find much about it.
It looks from the About page as if mindly.social is turning into another Twitter, demanding content warnings on everything and putting heavy restrictions on posting links. I'm going to start looking for another host.
But that's the nice thing about Mastodon; you _can_ look for another host.
Will there be an around-the-clock, around-the-world New Year's Eve filksing this year? I've heard hints but nothing definite.
Eurofilk on Zoom tomorrow (Thursday), 6 PM Central European Time. Check with @kjn for details.
