The people have spoken, and I will abide by the results of the poll.

I'm migrating this account to https://calckey.social

@riley @atomicpoet

I don't want to dump on mastodon at all here, but calckey is what I imagined the fediverse microblogging platforms to be like before I checked them/mastodon out.

It's what you'd expect from OSS social media, right? Features, options, hackability, and fun.

Again, not to be critical, but mastodon feels like it's coming from a different place.

@manlycoffee Super userful for me.

@clacke I'm going to have to test this myself and then get back to you.

@clacke I have no idea.

@liaizon @shadowtux Well, I’m planning on testing it for myself very soon 😉

Should I migrate this account (@atomicpoet) to https://calckey.social?

@rymecity@mas.to Sure, you have to download an archive of your posts and then upload them.

@rymecity@mas.to To Calckey? Yes.

@the_roamer @ArtBear@mastodonapp.uk @wild1145 @kainoa Here’s the other thing. Nobody could have predicted what happened with calckey.social. It went from being my side project to being a major concern very, very quickly. So no, there was no big conversations with other server admins because it wasn’t even a blip on the radar until recently.

Now that things are what they are, we adjust.

@the_roamer @ArtBear@mastodonapp.uk @wild1145 Let me give you context. For two weeks in March, I was on vacation. During that time @kainoa was the sole mod on calckey.social. The server only had 200 accounts and was not the flagship #Calckey instance. He received two reports, didn’t hear back, and made the best decision he could at the time—with the information he had. A month later, things change and we re-assess.

@ArtBear@mastodonapp.uk I spoke with @wild1145 yesterday. I also let him know @kainoa will be in touch.

I’m keen for a resolution, but it’s important they have a dialogue before a decision is made.

@big_diggity Yeah, I have checked it out. I talk to @mike regularly. Brilliant fellow.

@ArtBear@mastodonapp.uk It’s better to air on the side of caution. And we’re already having conversations with @wild1145 about re-federating.

@RonahsArk Still in the exploratory stage.

There's a new #Calckey server for #Polish speakers! Check it out:

I'm celebrating with some kielbasa and grodziskie!

Na zdrowie!

@fediversenews

@ethanOS There's benefits and drawbacks to both platforms. For example, I like that Mastodon allows you to embed posts onto a website.

However, Calckey gives you a drive, a gallery, and webpages.

Whatever happens, I still plan on running a Mastodon server that's open to the public.

That was always the plan anyway.

@jimbreeds @binarytango@mstdn.binarytango.com Nothing is "wrong" with my .social account.

#Calckey is not "better", but it's very different.

I've written many threads on what makes Calckey unique. Here's two of them:

If you want to see what's different, I suggest trying out Calckey for yourself!
