Some of you have been asking about the #Fedivision song contest, and whether it will run this year.
#Fedivision2025 will not be run.
The organizers (@TQ, @zatnosk, and me) agree that the Fediverse has grown to a size where Fedivision doesn’t work as a format any more. We have so many talented amateur musicians here that it’s not practical for voters to commit the hours of time needed to listen to all the entries. The labour required to organize the event has also scaled past the point where we can do it in our spare time.
I wrote a blog post about the challenges of operating an event on the Fediverse, it’s about a 15 minute read. Please read it to the end if you’re tempted to offer advice or want to take it over. https://www.icemoonprison.com/blog/archives/863
