atomicpoet,

I’ve been in a good mood today.

Today is the first day in over a year that I haven’t used Mastodon.

No, I’m not saying that Mastodon is “bad” and made me miserable. In fact, Mastodon freed me from Big Social, and for that I’m thankful.

But it’s also true that Mastodon is kind of limiting. And well, I kind of want to spread my wings and fly.

Actually, it’s a compliment to Mastodon that I can still talk to Mastodon while using another service that gives me more joy.

If Mastodon was a walled garden service, I wouldn’t be able to do this.

@atomicpoet you seem to be following quite a few people. Would you like to join our beta? https://mastodon.murmel.social - it will help you stay up-to-date with the relevant news and stories from the fedi-folks you follow.

atomicpoet,

@murmel_social I am simply too busy to try another service and offer good feedback. But I wish you luck.

@atomicpoet congrats on your move. And your perspective is on point. It highlights the value of the fediverse.

damonoutlaw,

@atomicpoet I’m actually looking at Calckey this very moment

atomicpoet,

@damonoutlaw Yeah, glad to have you join this party. I think you’ll like what you see.

(We have quoted boosts.)

darth_akeda,

@atomicpoet @damonoutlaw I saw. Commenting from my secondary account as my primary account is still redirecting to Calckey. I really like it. With the exception of lack of capability with my Mastodon third party clients im enjoying the experience thus far

atomicpoet,

@darth_akeda @damonoutlaw Hopefully, more mobile app compatibility will happen soon!

@atomicpoet It's great how we can all access the same community in whatever way is most compatible with our preferences and needs.

oliphant,

@atomicpoet You're probably one of the most visible examples on the fediverse that migration works, even with a large number of followers--and from Mastodon to Calckey, no less.

And theoretically, I think you could move back again, just by cancelling the redirect on your old account, and doing the transfer in reverse.

atomicpoet,

@oliphant I really could. But here's the kicker.

If post importing works on https://calckey.social, then we may have solved one of the biggest problems that ails the Fediverse.

@atomicpoet @oliphant

I wonder, any progress in handling variations in standards of acceptable content between servers? As long as the multi-tenant community server model is in place, that strikes me as far more difficult than basic importing of data at the technical level.

    @oliphant @atomicpoet Not really. More of the not-unreasonable scenario where someone mass imports thousands of COC violations going back years...

    @atomicpoet @oliphant

    Thanks for providing the link and the server. I've been meaning to try out Calckey for a while, but nervous about finding an open server where I could just create an account and experiment.

    I've had bad experiences trying to find open servers for other Fediverse services/platforms.

    I've created a test Calckey account easily and am intrigued by what I see there. Looking forward to more experimentation before deciding if I want to move.

    @oliphant @atomicpoet
    forks are a good sign of broad support from developers. code is portable and good ideas have a habit of being added for everyone

    Dustin4,

    @atomicpoet & the good thing about it is, I don’t even have to know/care that you’re using a different fediverse service to interact with you.

    @atomicpoet What other service?

    kainoa,

    @msbellows @atomicpoet calckey! https://calckey.org
