We're planning to move our GitHub repository to an organization account for better project management. We've requested GitHub support to help us acquire the inactive @fedify username for this purpose. (The attached screenshot is our formal request to GitHub support.)

If we successfully acquire @fedify, that will be our new organization name. If not, we'll choose an alternative name. We'll keep you updated on the progress!

In any case, we'll ensure a smooth transition with proper redirects from the current repository. Stay tuned for updates!

@fedify GitHub is not gonna give you an existing username. I also think it’s kind of a dick move to even ask for it. Just because YOU can’t see any public activity, does not mean that the username isn’t being used.

@fedify Maybe setup a @forgejo to be more independent along with the GitHub org.

Here's a quick update on our GitHub organization plans: GitHub support has informed us they no longer process inactive username requests. We'll try reaching out to the current owner of @fedify account to see if we can work something out.

We'll keep you posted on how this goes! 🤞
