I was looking at the current state of Fediverse servers, alternatives to Mastodon, and discovered that Takahē was quietly abandoned over 2 years ago. Bummer.

Timeline in need of a cleanse? Take a moment to appreciate the sphericality of this beautiful borb.

Takahē have been described as having the size of a goose and the speed of a racehorse - they can't fly, but they sure can flee. They were believed to be extinct for about half a century, but are now classed as endangered (pop. c.500).

@andrew just heard about #Takahe server from some MastoAdmins as I am building @admin with a look to creating multiple instances for each political jurisdiction I approach -> starting with federal gov in Australia.
Some interesting learning's there in your blog, thanks.
And your post about the DART is quite aligned with my way of looking at the world!

ohh thats a hard one! I am quite fond of #Takahē (https://jointakahe.org) cause it lets each user account have its own domain name, so you can host one server but then each account "acts" like a single user instance to the rest of the fedi. And @dimkr's Tootik (https://github.com/dimkr/tootik) is also pretty amazing, it lets you post from inside a Gemini capsule and a bunch of other crazy features.

Aye, They're working on it.

There's a feature-length documentary about it (the conservation of kakapo & takahe):

Endangered Chick Appears in 'Christmas Miracle' Hatching to Parents Thought Infertile

A breeding pair of endangered takahē birds in New Zealand were found to be rearing a chick, having previously been thought of as infertile.

This story made my day. I keep going back to look at the photos again. A Christmas miracle indeed. #Zealandia #takahē
