GitHub is quickly becoming unusable, just like LinkedIn and everything else Microsoft has acquired. I really hope Nostr's adoption of GRASP / NIP-34 gains momentum. My Forgejo instance has everything I need really. I'm slowly but surely moving away from GitHub.

I hope so, too. I don't understand enough about programming or git to do anything in that area yet, but maybe someday. I took a good dummy's look at Gitworkshop, and I think if I ever came across a typo, I might be able to figure it out. To have that level of functionality already, is impressive.
The Github situation is a shame in the same way as the YouTube situation: a great learning environment, past it's prime. Its clear their system thinks I'm a bot, and they offer no real solution. I'm dedicated to assisting the projects that allowed me to get involved, in whatever way I can, but beyond that, I feel like any other attention paid there is a waste. I've spent more minutes in correspondence with support than I have contributing, over the last 6 weeks. Its silly, I barely do anything.
But I'm just lamenting... 'tis a Monday after all. 😅🫂
I get the feeling. And thanks for your "Monday Adventure" on top of everything you already do for Nostr.
GitHub’s algorithms are quite messy and often go against their Terms of Service. I ran into issues myself after creating a machine account, which is actually allowed under their ToS. Luckily, after going through the appeal process a few times, a human eventually reviewed it and resolved the problem. But GitHub is broken in several other ways; death by a thousand papercuts.
Dan Conway is doing great work for sure. Honestly, some of the coolest tech on Nostr.
