Now that #GoToSocial v0.19.0 is out, we're going to start the process of transferring our coding workflow from Github over to #Codeberg (@CodebergCodeberg.org), to get away from Microsoft's endless parade of crapola.

This means that some time in the next week or so, we will "lock" the Github repository so that only superseriousbusiness.org members can create new PRs and issues etc (similar to what we do when we're on holiday).

Then, we will migrate the repository over to Codeberg, using Codeberg's migration functionality to keep issues, pull requests, comments, etc intact.

Once we've validated that everything is in order, we will mark the Github repository as a read-only mirror of the Codeberg repo, and start using Codeberg for issues, pull requests, CI/CD etc.

To avoid breaking people's automated builds that rely on that Github repo, we are planning to keep it as a read-only mirror for a while (eg., 6 months or so, not sure yet) . At some point though we will fully remove it, to avoid contributing our code to Microsoft's "ai" garbage. But we will warn in advance about this so that people can update their scripts and stuff in time.

There will probably be some turbulence in our CI/CD pipelines and workflow and whatnot during this transition period, but nothing that should affect end users of the software: releases up to v0.19.0 will remain available on Github and Docker as normal, and snapshots should remain up to date on our Minio S3 bucket and Docker.

We're looking forward to the move, and to putting the sloth in its new home and seeing it wander around sniffing the furniture and exploring :gtspat: Thanks for reading!
