#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.
Here's a free, unsolicited marketing advice for the fediverse. First, take this words out of your vocabulary:
fediverse
instances
decentralized
server
ActivityPub
Never talk about those. Nobody cares. Nobody says that e-mail uses IMAP.
Second, call your username as "address" to make it easy. Mine is "@ fabioromeo @ calckey.art" (space added to break the autoformatting here), and you can find me at Mastodon.
"But you're using Calckey!"
Yes, I am. No, it doesn't matter. That's my third advice. If the user is new, sell it at Mastodon. Pleroma, misskey, calckey, doesn't matter. Drop your ego. You want this thing to work, you have to leverage the most familiar name. Two is one too many, it adds confusion to the regular user. If you really need it, sell the others as providers with extra features.
Last, never say "server" (see first advice). Say "service" or "provider". My provider is mastodon.social. Oh, they're not accepting new users? Try calckey.social, I heard they're pretty good too.
People join a service like Mastodon for one reason: to communicate. They want to read from people they like, and they want to talk. That's it. They don't give a shit about what makes this thing run. They WILL frown and balk at any sign of complexity that looks like an obstacle to what they want to do.
The fediverse suffers from the Linux ego, where everyone is too self important and too self centered, claiming that their own solution is the one and definitive, and it failed at homes because of that. Linux, like the fediverse, is too fragmented, too opinionated for its own good, struggling to gain space into people's life and finding solace amog the nerds and technical people.
And to me, that's a tragedy. Twitter was bought not to satisfy a billionaire's ego, but to silence dissenting voices that organized through that platform, an easy and simple to understand way of communication. If we want an open alternative to succeed, we need to stop the discussions about the technicalities and start talking about how it can enrich people's lives.
wtf, my instance can't send posts to one mastodon instance anymore, but receiving works. and all other mastodon instances work too. :blobcat_thinking_glare:
“Socket connection timeout”, it says in the #misskey log.
did that happen to anyone else?
Alles was auf Mastodon fehlt: Calckey im Fediverse mit zig Zusatzfunktionen
Die Zahl der Twitter-Alternativen wächst und wächst. Während die meisten das Vorbild ziemlich stark nachbauen, gibt es aber auch Versuche, weiterzudenken.
It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
"Omg... Joe Biden is the 1st President posting in the Fediverse"
No, Joe Biden is using mainstream social media, owned by Meta (Facebook), which most of the Fediverse blocked a while back. If POTUS (President of the United States) wants to join the Fediverse correctly and hold that claim, they need to join a true Fediverse instance such as Misskey, Sharkey, Mastodon, or something else not government a large corporation which avoid paying taxes.
…I noticed that they gave shoutouts to #Mastodon & #WordPress (#Tumblr was strangely ignored) as well as credited #Misskey for their quote implementation (even #Firefish received an honorable mention).
I do wonder how many Threads users have activated ActivityPub on their account‽
Wenn Mastodon eine Alternative zu Twitter wäre, würde ich da nicht meine Freizeit für die Moderation opfern und Anleitungen dazusschreiben 🤷🏼♂️
Außerdem möchte nach damit zur allgemeinen Verwirrung beitragen, das ich diesen Post von meiner privaten #FireFish Instanz schreibe, die ein Fork von #Misskey ist.
Wie das ganze Netzwerk heißt schreibe ich jetzt nicht auch noch hier rein, das machen dann andere für mich 🥳

ffs, they removed the createdAt column from the table, i checked and they replaced it with nothing :( we don't know how old is a file from the database so I can't clean up old files to prevent growing it to over TBs.
I'm really pleased to see so much variety in the #ActivityPub space, but I'm not sure that having more and more #pleroma and #Misskey forks, none of which seem to have a solid reliable management structure, is that great an idea.
👉🏾 Search will be across most Mastodon platforms
👉🏾 It will be Opt-In by default
👉🏾 #Misskey has a similar feature
👉🏾 Search by hashtags is subpar
👉🏾 Idea 💡: What about a Universal search across the entire #Fediverse‽ Including #ActivityPub blogs‽
Good addition even if it's on the Threads side ... and I'm curious why many fediverse apps still can't get the correct post and follower count but it works with threads? Is it compatibility between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey apps? @Gargron
❓ Hier hat jemand mal den Link zu einer richtig guten Tabelle gepostet, in der Funktionen verschiedener #Fediverse Dienste wie #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Misskey, #Pleroma usw. sehr detailliert verglichen wurden. Es kann sein, dass die Tabelle sogar editierbar war. Vielleicht Cryptpad?
Leider finde ich den Link nicht mehr.
Habt ihr eine Idee, wo es sowas im Netz gibt?
Ich suche eine Alternative zu Friendica, das ich mag, bei dem die Posts aber für manche wohl zu schlecht lesbar sind. #askfedi
I have seen the spam affect #Mastodon servers, but I did not know #Misskey servers are also being targeted as well. Also, #Discord seems to be apathetic about this issue which is surprising.
We should introduce "Community ALT text" on Mastodon (and other fediverse softwares which has similar ALT text implementation), much like the Community notes feature on Twitter. This would be really helpful for situations where it's challenging to provide a proper description for an image.
:brain0: Jumping from one corporation-backed, short-lived, and centralized social media platform to another.
:brain14: Hanging out on one decentralized social network for over a decade, possibly not on the same instance the entire time.
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.
