A little #mastodon #sharkey #miskey #friendica #fediverse tip that made my life a bit nicer: Make a list with accounts that post comics. In Mastodon, it brings you a colorful and fun column in your deckview.

Dump it.

All of it.

I don't care if the rest of your family is on Facebook, and too stubborn/lazy to move elsewhere.

I don't care if your favorite celeb is on Instagram and nowhere else.

I don't give a single rat's fuck if the nice old knitting lady whose TikToks are so wholesome can't be found elsewhere.

The centralized social media sites support the fash, and you are enabling that with your engagement.

"But Mastodon is too hard.." NO. It's called learning something new. That's your convenience addiction talking.

Fucking find your soul and dump them.

Ich habe mir gerade #Aria, die iOS App für #miskey #sharkey heruntergeladen und probiere sie nun einmal etwas ausführlicher aus …
Is #Miskey a good replacement for #facebook? If not, what is?
After getting home from dropping off the Danemobile for an oil change, I opened up my browser and came across this post from Molly In Missouri.

I finally pulled the trigger and deleted my Facebook account. While I was there, I saw my name tagged in a couple of posts from friends. I sat here and wondered if I really wanted to do this.

They have several ways to reach me. Some have my phone number/email address. The ball is in their court. Good luck to them.

Okay. #Firefish geht nun endgültig seinem Ende entgegen. 😔

Jetzt wird's knifflig. Meine nächste Instanz sollte möglichst sicher vor solchem $foo sein.

Eigentlich bietet sich da natürlich
#Mastodon an, aber damit werde ich einfach nicht mehr warm.
Wenn man so Instanzen wie Firefish und auch
#Pleroma hatte, dann fühlt sich das alles sehr "klein" und fizzelig an.
Klar, gibt immer mehr coole Features bei Mastodon, aber in dem eigentlichen Feature, Texte ins Fediverse zu stellen, fühlt man sich doch sehr künstlich beschränkt.

Was bleibt?
#Miskey?
Evtl noch
#Sharkey, weil die im Havarie Fall einfache Migration zu Miskey versprechen?

Ehrlich gesagt habe ich recht wenig Bock, mir überhaupt um so was wieder Gedanken machen zu müssen. Evtl sollte ich wieder zurück auf eine "Fremdinstanz" gehen?

Knifflig.
🤔

Firefish (@firefish)

**Announcement: Firefish will enter maintenance mode** For those who have been supporting Firefish and me, I can’t thank you enough. But today, I have to make an announcement of my very difficult decision: As of today’s release, Firefish will enter maintenance mode and reach end-of-support at the end of the year. The main reasons for this are as follows. In February, Kainoa suddenly transferred the ownership of Firefish to me. This transition came without prior notice, which took me aback. I still wish Kainoa had consulted with me in advance. At that time, some people were already saying that “Firefish is coming back”, making it challenging to address the situation. Also, since there were several hundred active Firefish servers at that point, I could not suddenly discontinue the project, so I took over the project unwillingly. Over the past seven months, I have been maintaining Firefish alone. All other former maintainers have left, leaving me solely responsible for managing issues, reviewing merge requests, testing, and releasing new versions. This situation has had a significant impact on my personal life. Frankly speaking, there are numerous bugs and questionable logic in the current Firefish codebase. While I attempted to fix them, balancing this work with my personal life made it clear that it would take ages, and I’ve started thinking that I can’t manage this project in the long run. Additionally, vulnerabilities have been reported approximately once a month. Addressing vulnerabilities, communicating privately with reporters, and testing fixes have proven overwhelming and unsustainable. Moreover, a certain percentage of users have made insulting comments, which have severely affected my mental well-being and made me fearful of opening social media apps. I will do my best to refund the donations made to Firefish via OpenCollective, but that’s not guaranteed. `firefish.dev` and `info.firefish.dev` will remain operational until the end of February 2025, after which they will return a 410 Gone status. Server admins may downgrade Firefish to version `20240206`/`1.0.5-rc` and migrate to another *key variant, or may fork Firefish to maintain. Downgrade instructions: https://firefish.dev/firefish/firefish/-/blob/downgrade/docs/downgrade.md Thanks, naskya

Posting Tip:

If you use certain gifs or memes as common responses to other fediusers' posts, save the alt text (and we're ALL using alt text on our photos and gifs, riiiight...?) to your note taking app of choice so you can just copypasta instead of typing it out all the time.
