Calckey is a Fediverse server type which includes lots of features that Mastodon doesn't yet have, such as emoji reactions, markdown, customisable interfaces, widgets and lots more.
To see for yourself, have a look on the official website at:
This doesn't really answer the question *, sure clients will have various monetization models (though WTH is transactions). The issue is what is the server/Bluesky PBLLC business model?
Are they going to start putting ads in the feed? Are they going to charge users or clients for access? Stay free and make it up in volume? I have no clue, not sure anyone does either.
For the first time ever, I’m torn about whether I should stay on mastodon.social.
Being here has given me a voice I’ve never had, to talk about a topic that I feel strongly about, and I feel I’ve made the world a slightly different place.
But I also wonder if mastodon.social is becoming even more hostile to the rest of the Fediverse.
Remember folks, if #Mastodon isn't for you, there are many other corners of the #fediverse.
#Pleroma#Akkoma#Misskey and #CalcKey: (mostly) compatible with Mastodon apps, admins can run various different front ends, support editing posts and quote posting.
Let me know if you're interested in any of these other platforms and I'll be happy to help.
So, for my further #fediverse journey, I dropped #Misskey from the list for the time being as it doesn’t offer account transfers, which I find essential. Remaining are #Friendica, #Calckey and potentially #Mastodon, would need to move to a hosted service for more characters, but still no markdown… Now thinking about self-hosting Friendica or Calckey and also #Pixelfed later down the line once it supports account migrations… Decisions, decisions….
🤣 I was showing one of my mutual followers how the $[x2 ...], $[x3 ...], and $[x4 ...] tags could be used to increase the heading's size on a #misskey/ #calckey post. I used the x3 tag to demonstrate this feature, and $[x3 it was HUGE!] I was surprised at how big it was, so I tried to tone it down a bit by using an $[x2 x2] tag, but it didn't show up on their calckey instance.
https://mastodon.social being down, presumably because they're testing some of their latest features they're working on, and in the process kicking 1 million out of the 11.8 million people* (thanks @nemobis for the correction) from the fediverse is a good reminder to check out other Mastodon instances, or even other fediverse services and platforms.

There are noch "other fediverse networks". The only network is the #Fediverse with a lot of different services and platforms - Mastodon is one of all them.
And yes - if you will stay on a Mastodon implementation you can search for an other server - there are out many of them. And if you whan to go further you can choose a platform wiht #Plermoma, #Friendcia, #Hubzilla, #Misskey, #Calckey and others only for Microblogging. For other services you find more.
So, I think I've dug as deeply into the #hachyderm drama as I need to, and settled on some conclusions.
Most basically, the best insights came from seeing conversations on another platform: discord.
Admins from both sides were talking. And as it's a chat platform, the engagement and conversation was clearly more direct, free, expressive and clarifying.
If the fediverse wants to be the new internet, seriously, it needs to growup and move on from just microblogging.
I've been hearing a lot more talk about #Misskey and #Calckey, and have checked out calckey.social to see a surprisingly clean UI. Its feature richness is also appealing without going into feature-creep territory.
Will I migrate? Not anytime soon. Unless something happens to this instance, I'll be staying here until I set up my own instance. Though, now I'll decide if I want my future instance to be a Mastodon instance or a Calckey instance.
#Misskey#Calckey question, I know it's not built in, but is there any library or script I could use to delete my old posts? I find myself wanting to post on Mastodon rather than Calckey simply for the auto-deletion feature.
Once I get a stable job, I'm thinking of setting up a Mastodon/(Miss/Calc/Found)key server for me and my immediate family (which), but I'm debating on whether or not to go the #Mastodon route or go the #Misskey route; I know that Misskey may be easier to use because it only uses #javascript for its stack compared to Mastodon using JavaScript and #Ruby for its stack. I'm also debating what policies to implement to moderate my server; I will for sure adopt my current server's rules with a few edits, but I don't know what other rules I should enforce and how to enforce them.
When you look at the MAU (monthly active users) for the top 5 popular #fediverse projects, you see just how many active users Mastodon has compared to the rest.
@DaniEhm
Yeah. #Calckey is great. I ended up here after the #Misskey instance I was on went poof, and I like this more than I did that one. I did main an #Akkoma (https://outerheaven.club/) for a few days between these, though, and that was also good.
Has anyone made contact with the people behind #Audon? I think many #blind people would like to use it, but it has a few unlabelled buttons in the room UI.
I haven’t been able to find any way to contact them but this would be a big hit in the blind community if it were a bit more #accessible.
Fediverse musings: folk saying you don't really need a migration of your posts between servers are implicitly minimising the value of something from months ago. Having just 'boosted an old toot' 😎 of mine from 5 months ago, it feels like a Mastodon :mastodon: apologists' view for an obvious shortcoming. And let's be clear ...
Me, 6 months ago?: a "born again pachyderm" 🐘
Me, today?: a "Fediverse explorer" :fediverse:
It''s the biggest reason I'm an early adopter checking out Calckey now -- the team there *get" this 💜 and ... I'm testing out how their new history migration works ie. Mastodon :ms_arrow_right: Calckey and Calckey :ms_arrow_left_right: Calckey migrations. It's coming
