Multiple people have asked me to respond to this post by @panos. We have never worked together since I was never a part of the dev team, but I appreciate all they’ve done for Firefish.

I, myself, had a big hand in the growth of Firefish. I was one of the project’s biggest donators, having provided ~$2,000 in funding over the course of a year. I also helped administer firefish.social, and advised on several community and marketing initiatives. I further spoke to several instance admins in back channels hoping to build strong relationships.

But as you see, I’m not sending this message from firefish.social, and that’s because of severe performance issues with it. To Kainoa’s credit, they did try to work and fix these issues to the best of their ability.

However, I have not spoken to Kainoa since October, and I don’t know the status of the project. Suffice it to say, I have not been working on Firefish for quite awhile.

Despite many people thinking I was a core member of the Firefish team, I never have been—and I always made that very clear. Instead, I saw my role primarily as empowering the project both financially and with other resources when needed.

As demonstrated by the fact I committed large amounts of time and money to the project, I genuinely have wanted Firefish to succeed. I still do, even if it’s with a successor project.

Working on any open source project is hard, and I commend anyone who attempts to do it.

in the past, you claimed that firefish.social were so successful that it does not need your help anymore, hence your move to another instance > you have been instrumental not only in hyping up the project, but you also infused some dishonest marketing lingo, effectively turning significant parts of the non-japanese *keys community into a sectarian tribe: critical thinking is more often than not unwelcome, leader cults have emerged, hypocrisy and toxic patterns occur time and again

moreover, i believe that your push for calckey/firefish's fast growth has contributed to creating an unhealthy environment for devs - this must not have been the case! in the end, it is this unhealthy environment which got firefish into trouble

slow growth is not necessarily something bad: you don't grow a project by throwing some money at it, by blurting out exaggerated claims, and by acting in denial of existing problems!

@atomicpoet
if you seriously forgot how you pushed for rebranding calckey to firefish, and your hyping up of a flagship instance which was in trouble before the rebranding already, then this is one more act of denial > everything used to be the bestest extraordinarily super amazing, until it wasn't

re: your first claim: your statement on reasons for leaving ffsocial stressed the instance's success rather than its deplorable state
@panos

testing,

@atomicpoet too little, too late: once again - calckey.social experienced heavy performance issues before rebranding

the rebranding was laughable, too > surely, it was no community decision

i really enjoy the threadiverse's peculiarities very much > today i posted a link article via kbin which was warmly received in the threadiverse > it was about some peasants from vanuatu who are waiting for payment of their trees which they cut down for a chinese company

i posted the article to the magazine (= forum/community) worldnews, fully knowing well that this is absolutely local news

but no complaints whatsoever!

instead, quite some people upvoted this little, concise piece about corruption and the effects of globalization on people living in rural areas in the global south

maybe people liked this:
the author had succeeded in presenting a highly grotesque story the most factual way you can imagine > see kbin.social/m/worldnews/t/723804

bearing in mind the example of texas observer, i think that the fediverse may well become an interesting place for veeeeeeeery local news in english, at least

i am still baffled ...

at its core, lemmy is a link aggregator which does not all too well interact with the *keys > kbin or mbin fare better in this regard, and lemmy's threadiverse dominance is already established > thus, one more lemmy instance does not necessarily add to diversity on the fedi

btw i really would love to read some post of yours about your gotosocial experience - you seem to be in the right place ❤️

testing, to kbin

it's been a while since i took ownership of @foreign_affairs > in the past, this magazine used to be a place for international news and politics - until it fell dormant when the former owner was no more active on kbin

i believe that kbin.social already offers well-established magazines which perfectly serve that purpose, e.g. @worldwithoutus, @worldnews, or @anime_titties

hence, the foreign affairs magazine will concentrate on larger debates, with opinion pieces explicitly welcome!

the first linked article in the re-purposed magazine is an opinion piece by former tuvaluan pm enele sopoaga on falepili, an obscene treaty which enables australia to cash in on the misery of tuvalu, an island endangered by climate change
