Good news on tax software, but the bad news is that it's on #MicrosoftGithub.

@Mastodon Now it's time to move off of #MicrosoftGithub and onto #Codeberg.

If you're still hosting on #MicrosoftGitHub, you'd better keep a backup of your repository. #TechRights outlines how the platform has never made money and looks likely to be abandoned by Microsoft.

@witchescauldron Sorry to hear that you lost your XMPP server in the fire.

This is why we support decentralised platforms like #Peertube as much as possible. Its only a matter of time until there is a #federated version of #MicrosoftGithub/#Gitlab. That is the next frontier for #ActivityPub in our view.
