@musicman Github is old. The GNUsocial source, etc. is now at http://qttr.at/1t58

I see !Mastodon is also Affero General Public Licensed, very good. Just like Linux kernel is GPL2 licensed. Very good. Linus used Bitkeeper, the proprietary software and forced other developers to use it. When a Samba guy wanted to reverse engineer Bitkeeper, Linus got pissed because of disagreement with the proprietary software vendor. Then Linus started making git, now you have git. But then again, Linus forgot to apply AGPL and probably never will, he is not really a "free software" activist in his heart, regardless if he is maintaining one of most important pieces of it. If RMS was not there in Finland, Linus would not hear him, and Linux would be proprietary.
Now back to Mastodon. While Github offers nice alternatives, Github is pretty much proprietary. Why simply not host on Gnusocial Gitlab? Gitlab is free software. Github is not free software.
When teaching users about free software, you should tell them what means AGPL, what you are doing. But then again, you are forcing them to use non-free software on Github.
I guess that you would be MORE than welcome here: https://git.gnu.io and even if you just clone your old elephant, you would gain more exposure at the right place and more installations: https://git.gnu.io/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=mastodon&groupid=&projectid=&repository_ref=
