regardless of whatever the programmers or managers of godot say or think, or who they ban from what, the fact remains that it is open source and publicly available. this is one reason why open source is so important, so that the software can be detached from the ones who made it. if this were something like unreal engine then they could simply revoke your license to use the engine if they so desired, but with godot that's not an option. so keep using it if that's what you like to use because it can't be taken from you.
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.

Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash
Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.

You can be involved without voting. I'm not saying you shouldn't vote. I'm saying I personally don't think it matters. James Corbett has often said on his podcast that if you think we can vote our way out of our current situation, he wishes you the best and yes, go vote. Hopefully you're right and he's wrong.
But it's important to be realistic. Just attending protests or being involved locally with city council meetings or school board meetings is arguably way more important than voting. I've helped in local campaigns before. Not in a long time though; it does jade you to the process.
When people stop getting involved, when people lose hope, that is when the Oligarchs and dictators starts to act
Dude they're always acting no matter if you have hope or not. The media flips the majority of the population like a switch.
I used to think that voting didn't matter. I changed
I mean... if it gives you purpose, good? Keep on keeping on. Nothing wrong with a religious belief. Keep proselytizing I guess. Maybe you'll convert me one day. But for now, the risk of jury duty doesn't outweigh the benefit of trivially placing my wish on a piece of paper for one from the list of psychopaths running.
