@Sandelinos Others doing it is seldom a good reason to do something and especially not for signing onto a political campaign, because "others are doing it!" is used by such campaigns as a dishonest recruitment tactic. If today Kicad joins because Mastodon, git, and the Linux kernel did, then tomorrow Frobozz will be told "Mastodon, git, the Linux kernel, *and Kicad* have joined!" and the day after that it'll be "...and Frobozz!" Soon all projects are in the position of Havel's greengrocer.
