@atomicpoet ah I suppose that's a little more important...
(in all seriousness though, I absolutely love the #DonateFriday idea & will be following it closely!)
Chris Trottier@jake Unfortunately, I'm reserving Fridays for #DonateFriday, where I try to raise awareness for Fediverse initiatives that require funding.
Are you curious about what a Calckey instance looks like, and how it's different from Mastodon and other Fediverse software?
As I said, I'm running my own Calckey instance at https://vancity.social/
My Calckey instance now has 100+ community members. I find it to be an absolute thrill to admin.
This is why I donate to @thatonecalculator -- and why I think they're worth supporting! #DonateFriday
Don't take my word for Calckey's sheer awesomeness!
@thatonecalculator has released Calckey is free and open source!
In fact, if you want to contribute to Calckey through code, bug reports, etc., it will be appreciated.
You can view all their code in this repo: https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey/
Just want too mention that @thatonecalculator is mostly coding Calckey all by themselves. This is not their job right now. They do it entirely as a hobby.
Now do I think Calckey *should* be their job? Absolutely.
I definitely believe that Calckey could be their big impact on the world!
I'm not the only one who thinks so. The Calckey project is only 4 months old, and it already has 40 instances running.
But this thing needs more support! #DonateFriday https://liberapay.com/ThatOneCalculator
Whenever someone says to me, "I wish I had something more feature rich than Mastodon, I let them know about @thatonecalculator and their work with Calckey.
In fact, this is so feature rich, it does *most* communication that you'll ever want:
1. Pages? Yep!
2. Forms? Yep!
3. Local-only visibility? Yep!
4. Notes? Yep!
5. Announcements? Yep!
If you decide not to federate, this is *still* powerful!
That's why I'm donating Calckey! #DonateFriday
I should also mention that Calckey is a fork of Misskey. It is NOT a fork of Mastodon.
The reason that @thatonecalculator's fork is so important is because Misskey has not yet been fully localized into English.
As well, Calkey preserves many features that Misskey used to have. They even add features that Misskey has never had.
In short, if you like Misskey but are looking for something easier to use, then Calckey is it!
That's how your donation helps. #DonateFriday
Today is #DonateFriday!
I personally donate $23/week to @thatonecalculator
This is because they create the very excellent Calckey which does many things that Mastodon can't do. Such as:
1. Nested comments
2. Quoted boosts (renotes)
3. Channels and groups
4. Photo galleries
5. File hosting
Calckey is so pretty and rich in features, it actually puts Big Social to shame!
I run an instance on Calckey, and it's great!
Want to make Calkey even more awesome? Donate!
