Merry Christmas, everyone!

What a year it has been! Our community has grown in both size and spirit, and I’m incredibly grateful to all of you for making it such a wonderful place. Together, we’ve built something special—so thank you for being part of this journey!

I’ve got a few important updates to share:

• All Services Updated
  Everything’s running smoothly after our latest round of updates, so you can enjoy the improved features without any hiccups.
• Public Registration Changes
  Unfortunately, we’ve had to close public registration for Git and XMPP due to a recent wave of spam attacks. This was a tough decision, but it helps protect our network and the community we’ve worked so hard to grow. If you’d like an account, please feel free to reach out to me directly—friends and family are still more than welcome, even if we’re now a “closed club.”
• New Movim Features
  Movim has rolled out exciting additions like “Briefs” for microblogging (à la Mastodon or Twitter) and “Stories” for those who enjoy sharing content in a fun, ephemeral way.

I have plenty more improvements and plans on the horizon, but it’s still a bit early to spill all the details. Stay tuned—I can’t wait to share what’s next!

Wishing you a fantastic holiday season and an amazing year ahead. Here’s to our ever-growing community—may we continue to thrive, learn, and have fun together!
