I have a new hashtag proposal: #AskMeAbout

To participate in the hashtag, simply make a post listing 3-5 topics that you know a lot about and would feel comfortable discussing with other folks. Be sure to include the #AskMeAbout hashtag in your post!

Then, folks browsing the hashtag can hop on your post with their questions!

"Wait, so what's going to happen to calckey.social?" you may be asking. Well, later today (in a couple hours or so), the server will be migrated to https:///firefish.social . You'll get to keep your same username, login, posts, followers, etc. For now, we're upgrading to Firefish v1.0.0.

FediDB now reports that the Monthly Average Users (MAUs) for the #Fediverse has crossed over 2 million accounts.

There hasn’t been this much activity on the Fediverse since November 2022.

Today I discovered that not only is July #Disability Pride Month but also that we have a flag. It is so well done and extremely meaningful. It was created by Ann Magill, a disabled writer.

The entire thing will not fit into the thumbnail but if you open the image, it will tell you what each color and flag feature stands for. It is also in the alt text if you are unable to open it.

For me, social media is all about building connections and discovering ideas that I wouldn't otherwise encounter in my day to day life. I decided to check out Mastodon and Calckey because mainstream social media just doesn't seem all that social anymore. It's all about brands and products and users-as-products. Unless you're an influencer or someone with a lot of followers, it's hard to get your words and work out there. It's much harder to build connection. I've had the opposite experience here! The point of the Fediverse isn't to turn a profit or sell our data; it's to connect people and let us all share our thoughts.

By the way, if this isn’t part of your conference prep, it should be. It hasn’t gone away, it’s just got ignored.

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

@kainoa
Thank you so much! I'd totally forgotten about using the channels! I appreciate the tip 😄

I'm thinking about migrating to a different Calckey instance: Are there any Calckey instances out there with good moderation policies and themes relating to #Witchcraft #Paganism #Occultism #Folklore #Philosophy #Paranormal or other similar topics? Thank you!

This Capricorn ♑ Moon 🌝 is perfect for tying things up related to your goals. Capricorn will inhibit your emotions somewhat in favor of your overall goals, and it will soon be trining Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This is the resolution of Jupiter and Saturn (Capricorn's ruler) sextiling for the past couple weeks, pushing us to expand, dream big, and build structures that last to support us.

For this full Moon tomorrow, ask yourself:

- Have I set myself up for success in the public eye?
- What self-inhibitive tendencies, or anxieties, are holding me back from achieving what I want?
- Are these dreams giving me the ability to assert myself in the realm of my private life?

This will probably be confusing to new users but the "fediverse" is not the same thing as Mastodon.

I'm going to use an imperfect analogy but here goes...

Think of the fediverse as a special part of the internet that forms the "wiring" that connects different websites together that one uses to post "tweets."

Each of those websites (aka, an "instance" or "server") can run whatever software it wants to allow you to "tweet."

"Not All Men" you are right, the Great God Pan would not stand for this

"Listen, Grandfather," said Jay, "I truly appreciate that you want to be there for me...."

"It's the least I could do - especially after that no-good son of mine disowned you."

"...And I'm grateful that you want to attend our Pride Parade...."

"LIfe's too short to worry about who loves who. Love is love, am I right?"

"...But 'becoming woke' does not actually refer to rising from the dead."

The corpse of his grandfather grinned. "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, my boy!"

New folks! You should follow absolutely anyone who says something fun or interesting. Scroll the Local and Federated feeds a bit & drop follows with wanton abandon! This will get your Home timeline moving, so you'll get a better sense of activity & vibrancy here. If you stick to just a handful of people, you'll only see occasional new posts, & you'll be less likely to stick around. You can always unfollow if something's not fun anymore, & that's normal here. People aren't as focused on numbers.
