This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.
In the wake of the Godot situation, I am here to recommend alternatives. Not all of these are engines. Some of them are frameworks, but all of these are FOSS and general purpose.

The Things Indoor Gateway Pro: A Comprehensive Managed LoRaWAN Solution with ESP32 and Semtech SX1302
The Things Industries first introduced the Things Indoor Gateway, an affordable multi-channel LoRaWAN gateway designed for IoT networks in 2019. While low-cost single-channel gateways like Dragino OLG01, priced as low as $83.50, were available, they oft…

Godot moderators are going insane blocking anyone they perceive as criticizing their political messaging... Including people who have been long-time Titanium donors. I'll bet that donations to their project are going to tank pretty quickly... Probably even have a lawsuit on their hands. That's what you get when you bring the activists into your organization.
"Godot's self destruction begins as major devs begin to question the amateur and vindictive response of the community and discord managers of the open source game engine."

"Tech guys need to stop putting their social media in the hands of activists, even if they do it for free. The guy who made Godot has been replying to people today saying he has no idea why people are being blocked that haven't even interacted with it."

This is awful but entertaining. 🤣🤣🤣
"Godot can no longer tell friend from foe, just blanket blocking everyone now, even allies.
How is this sane?"

Heyho #fosstodon, I’ve just transferred here, so this is my short #introduction.
I’m Ádám, a #Python software engineer. My background is in mathematics and algorithmic modelling. I’ve worked with radars, satellites and now I’m in the nanotech field.
I like travelling, and moved around quite a bit, currently living in Austria.
I’m interested in anything #tech related, #coding, #linux, #foss.
I love #gaming, I’m a big fan of jrpgs. I love to geek out on anime, fantasy & sci-fi stuff.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
