Last night @Gargron told me that he's not going to move the main repo away from #Microsoft's #GitHub!

Because 'some' corporate minded people told him so.
How's the #fork doing!?
@jeroenpraat WTF dude. Corporate minded? I don't want to put anyone on the spot but it was people who maintain forks of Mastodon, worried about the fork ecosystem on GitHub. Seriously WTF
1. Don't call me a dude
2. Yes, telling people to stay on GitHub after Microsoft's takeover makes you corporate minded.
3. Don't tell me there is no solution for those forks, cause there is. There are many possibilities, like mirroring or keep a copy, or those forks also moving away from GitHub.
You force people that don't want to to business with Microsoft (like me) to do business with Microsoft. That's also corporate minded.
Have a nice day.

4. not moving away from github is supporting indirect fascism.
Microsoft said they are proud to support ICE. #GitHub is one of their product that makes microsoft look like a great company, since even 'all' the opensource devs are there.
The current situation requires to take position against any major company that supports ICE.
here's a list of devs that are going to leave:

@Gargron
@paulfree14 And not only ICE by the way. Microsoft had over the years a very aggressive marketing campaign towards public and educational services, at least here in the Netherlands.
@paulfree14 Yes ICE was also in my original reply last night.
