* Change link footer and onboarding model to point to our personal Git
repository and direct folks to email us for collaboration
* Remove now-unnecessary .github folder and add it to .gitignore [I am
not actually sure if this will prevent us from getting those files
again in the future.]
* Restore English locale to upstream version and move our changes into
the en-cafe custom locale.
* Remove most of the README for clarity.
After GitHub's contract with ICE came to light, we moved our personal
projects away from the site. With Copilot now effectively laundering
code under free licenses through machine learning by claiming that
training a model is "fair use" even when it directly quotes the input,
it's clear now that making the effort to move our Mastodon fork off of
GitHub is worth the effort. But even if the model *never* recited
anyone's source, we consider it to be clearly unethical to use open
source code in this way without a permissive license or written
consent from the authors of any non-trivial contributions. Whether or
not the law agrees, this is clearly a derivative work in the colloquial
sense of the term.
We needed to build our own CI/CD solution in the next week and a half
anyway because Docker Hub is removing automatic builds from the free
tier.
We're under no illusions that moving to our personal Git host will
actually stop anyone from doing whatever they want with what we post
publicly on the Internet. But we're both sending a message and
learning how to build our own infrastructure, which will hopefully be
helpful to us in the future.

Re-ordered the steps so it doesn't read "Do this, but first, do this
other step"
Added note about keeping the REDIS and DB settings as they are for
Docker use
Add which variables you will NEED to set to make the Mastodon work
Add how to generate the secrets
Add how to connect to your Mastodon
Add a note to read the Production-guide

This month I traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts with my friends and attended LibrePlanet 2017. At the talk *Technology for direct actions*, Andrew Seeder pointed out that we often call free software an "alternative" to what exists. But an alternative is something that is mostly similar, and differentiated by preference rather than need. For instance, a trackball is an alternative to a mouse, but a jail is not an alternative to a bedroom. Andrew suggested that we start looking at free software as "solutions" rather than alternatives. So I propose boldly proclaiming that Mastodon is not an alternative to Twitter, but rather a solution to it.
