If the only reason people care about NaNoWriMo is for the name and hashtag, somebody already pitched Writevember as a replacement. Honestly sounds better to me anyway.
I’ve heard other people say the tools/gamification/etc on the NaNoWriMo platform were really helpful though. For those people, how difficult would it be to potentially patch that stuff into the WriteFreely platform? As one of the only long-form Fediverse-native platforms still being actively developed, maybe they’d appreciate the boost in code contributions.

Um, question?
Did an organization which has a sole stated purpose of getting people to write something actually say that requiring someone to actually write something is ableist?
AI isn’t writing any more than my dog taking a shit and then scooting her butt around on the carpet is modern art.
Honestly, your dog has a better chance of actually making you money than this AI shit these companies are trying to jam down our throats.
Let me guess - their marketing strategy is to be deliberately provocative to get clickbait coverage?
From what I heard a hostile take over of the non profit occurred driving out most of the long term staff. This is probably the result of that. Someone deciding you need to shake it up and modernize it
Do you have an article about this?

You think so? It sounds really forced to me. “Novelvember” might work.
The first time I heard NaNoWriMo mentioned I had no idea what they were talking about.
“Novelvember” might work.
Now Novel November.
No Novel November
The headline is inaccurate; what’s being referred to is this part of a statement from NaNoWriMo on the use of AI:
We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege (source)
That’s plenty bad enough, no need to embellish it.
