I'm pretty sure that the #Fediverse is one of the first social networks I've been on that didn't ever ask me to betray any of the people in my address book.
Beeindruckend. Der Umzug von #Mastodon zu #Firefish hat tatsächlich reibungslos geklappt. Nicht nur die #Follower wurden 1:1 übertragen, sogar die alten Posts konnte ich mitnehmen. Das geht ja nichmal von Mastodon zu Mastodon. Wahnsinn!
mein persönlicher Favorit ist immer noch #Friendica, aber #Calckey / #Founkey / #Firefish gefällt mir von den Microbloggingsoftwares auch um Längen besser als Mastodon. @matthias das Einzigste, dass mich davon abhält, diesen Account hier zugunsten meines Firefish-Accounts umzuziehen, ist, dass Firefish leider nicht richtig mit #Lemmy harmoniert.
(Grund: "Authorized Fetch")
Von Mastodon und Friendica aus klappt es dagegen ja sehr gut, mit und in Lemmy zu kommunizieren.
Nachdem #Calckey einem Tag nach meinem letzten Versuch der Bereitstellung einer öffentlichen Instanz den Namen in #Firefisch geändert hat (Frechheit 😉), hier nun der nächste Versuch.
Wer also auf der Suche nach einer in Deutschland gehosteten #Firefish Instanz ist, die keine IP-Adressen loggt und sich dem Datenschutz verschrieben hat, ist herzlich Willkommen.
❓ Welche App "kann" Firefish und Mastodon (und am liebsten auch Friendica)?
Ich bin immer noch auf der Suche nach dem für mich idealen "Blogging"-Dienst im Fediverse. Deshalb probiere ich neben #Mastodon z.Z. #Firefish (ehemals #Calckey) und #Friendica aus. Langsam werden meine Accounts etwas unübersichtlich. Auf dem Desktop nutze ich die Web-Apps, unter Android #Tusky und #Kaiteki. Gibt es eine App, die alle meine Dienste unter einen Hut bringt?
It's interesting sitting here on an old version of #Calckey seeing someone on #Mastodon server telling their fellow user that posting to unlisted will opt-out of #search when I can see Unlisted posts in my antennas quite easily though I believe this has been rightly rectified in the newest versions of [#Firefish / #Iceshrimp but need to confirm]. Being hidden from the Explore tab on Mastodon is not the same as being unsearchable across the fediverse. Frankly, there's little understanding even among admins across the #fediverse about what's a Mastodon / Mastodon API function that is federated to other Mastodon servers but doesn't translate well outside of Mastodon on other #ActivityPub connected platforms like #Misskey and it's forks, #Hubzilla and #Friendica, or rapidly growing platforms like #Lemmy and #Kbin. Kbin also scrapes posts from across the fediverse and puts them into its own magazines.
Unfortunately simple, up-to-date documentation doesn't really exist to explain the realities of federation vs what your admin said was the reality. AP was not built with privacy in mind, and 'security through obscurity' was mostly a Mastodon thing from when folks thought either the Mastoverse was almost the dark web, or the whole fediverse [which has never been the case], and Google et al weren't interested in scraping it.
Unfortunately we have a cadre of devs across all fedi platforms who'll give glowing lip-service to both the fedi and ActivityPub histories of being built by queer or other minority identities but still won't work on giving folks the granular #privacy and #safety controls that weren't included in those protocols, and whose feature roadmaps now just look like bird site 2.0 funded by the milquetoast liberals in political tech who provide their seed money.
Beyond Mastodon and GoToSocial, every other fediverse project treats posting to public as opting in to search and indexing. Indeed, this is pretty much how the ActivityPub protocol handles such too.
Does anybody knows how I could reuse a username that was deleted on #Firefish ? I assume I would have to go by the DB but don’t really know which what to do :neofox_confused:
Just took another look at #Firefish, which used to be #Calckey, and it looks like the #accessibility has gotten much better since the last time I looked. I think I'm going to create a new account there and play with it a little bit. I can't handle too many accounts though, so if I like it, I may move over there. #a11y#blind#fediverse
Hi all, just kicking the tires here ... I wanted to give #firefish a try after the rebranding from #CalcKey and subsequent updates but definitely didn't want to jump onto an "official instance" ;)
I've been active on the #fediverse since 2018 and loving life outside of the corporate walled gardens.
Quick question, what mobile apps do you all prefer for #firefish on android? Win Desktop?
Are there any #fediverse platforms that don't compress or others ruin image uploads? #mastodon reduces many images to under 2000 pixels in either direction, usually in the 1600-1800 range from what I've seen.
Keep your current handle, but look into #SelfHosting any #Fediverse instance. Keep your current #Mastodon and add on a unique experience that you control completely.
Hell, even #Pixelfed if you're really into pictures. F Instagram.
A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted. Even after getting the account reinstated, there were lasting complications with the state of the account (these probably technical issues) and the account was basically lost for...
Does anyone know of lightweight web frontends for #Calckey or #Firefish or whatever they're calling themselves now? Kinda like #Pinafore for #Mastodon. It just feels so atrociously heavy here on Firefox Android.
I gotta admit, Misskey is kinda fun and fresh compared to the Calckey stuff. I feel like #calckey / #firefish / #iceshrimp / whatever else forks all kinda went more for a focused, simple, English-language software while Misskey wanted to be different and have a little fun, not worrying about the people who say "THIS IS BLOATTTTT AAAAA"
An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse (blog.ownlifeful.com)
