Yup, we did the thing. It’s sad that it came to this, but the project was unlikely to continue in a recognizable form for too much longer if we didn’t. The actual launch didn’t really go to plan due to some unfortunate problems with operation security but whatever. It’s done now. To clarify, lex owns all the names and stuff, so we had little choice but to fork and rename. We’ll be building new art and assets in the coming days. The discord is the best place to discuss because we’re all there. Ther will be updates as we cement plans and finalize our message around the lex situation. But #general is already showing receipts.

Also yes, I am that cpw. I posted a link on my mastodon confirming my identity on Lemmy and my GitHub is linked to mastodon, and you can see the first few activities on neoforged here: https://GitHub.com/neoforged/neoforge

They say many should already know why this is happening - I, for one, have no idea. Any goss or theories why?
