@atomicpoet#Firefish is an terrific new name for #Calckey and big kudos to whoever designed the logo and the team of people who guided that difficult and hopefully not too contentious decision. The logo and naming checks off all the good branding decision boxes for me.
I would be willing to try #firefish (formerly #calckey) again at some point, but it was a deal breaker for me that the federation (or defederation, more like) status of servers are not publicly available.
For #ActivityPub to be understandable and for clients to trust server admins, these types of decisions should always be made public whenever they are made -- preferably with reasoning as well. Otherwise, users are left in the dark and won't understand why they can't see a profile / post.
I'm kind of tempted to find a games related instance to join that doesn't use Mastodon & instead uses Misskey or Calckey/Firefish as some of their features appeal to me more.
I just need to dig around and see which instances might click with me, which is always the trick in this space.
I am actually getting ready to go into terminal and set one up one up right now. Terminal is loading. Waiting for my #parkinsons meds to kick in so I don't twitch click something and mess the install up. I hate that.😂
If I am successful, #FireFish can say, 'It's so easy even Paul installed it.' 😜 lol
I'm sitting up that special purpose domain (yet to be announced) we private messaged about the other day
Calckey is making some big moves today, first rebranding as Firefish with a new logo, resetting their version to 1.0, and adding some interesting new features. As a Fediverse first, all Calckey.social users will be migrated to Firefish.social automatically. Not sure how that last bit will work, but we will find out soon!
@AudraTran@firefish what it means is that Calckey as a brand name is changing to #Firefish, with a new flagship instance, new code repository etc.. If you're not an admin it shouldn't change anything for you 😉
See people switching to #calckey / #firefish and it sounds nice but I've decided I really want my next instance to be democratically governed - so I'd appreciate any tips on that!
A big hello and welcome to all the new people who've joined #blahajzone the past couple of days. It's great to have you here!
Our admins are @ada and @supakaity.
Ada leads the front of house and moderation side of Blåhaj Zone, while Kaity leads the back-end and maintains Hajkey for us & a small group of other instances.
We also have a #Lemmy server available for signups at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone and a #kbin server that's soon to be open, for those looking for #Reddit - like communities. They can also be interacted with from here or other places in the Fediverse.
