✨ this year’s event also supports the entire fediverse not just Lemmy!

you can get update announcements on other fedi platforms with

can’t wait for us to paint some linux logos and communist symbols
I’m expecting ponies. So many ponies.
For such a small community[s] *.nz did well last year, looking forward to the coming event.
