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

https://calckey.pl

I'm celebrating with some kielbasa and grodziskie!

Na zdrowie!

It just happened!

https://misskey.io overtook https://mastodon.online!

As tabulated by FediDB, it is now the 5th largest Fediverse server!

This is quite symbolic because, for the first time, #Misskey's flagship server now has more users than one of #Mastodon's flagship servers!

Misskey.io

This is dramatic!

https://misskey.io is 4 users away from overtaking https://mastodon.online as the 6th largest server on the Fediverse!

At least according to FediDB:

I just embedded a search engine into a #Calckey post.

How did I do that?

By typing the following line into a post:

Calckey [search]

Take a look for yourselves here:

#Bluesky engineer Jake Gold confirmed to me that a PDS can opt out of BGS indexing.

Which also tells me that AT protocol (and Bluesky) will allow defederation.

So there you have it, @gruber.

If you use AT protocol, you will be able to defederate from other servers for both petulant and non-petulant reasons.

@fediversenews

Hey @gruber, how will #Bluesky be tangibly different from Mastodon?

Because with what Bluesky devs are telling me, defederation with AT protocol should be possible.

It would be incredible on Bluesky’s part if a server couldn’t defederate.

So I’m right. A BGS is basically Google.

Theoretically, that can happen with #ActivityPub too. It’s just not everyone wants this.

Okay, I got an answer from Jake Gold, who works at #Bluesky.

A BGS has relay functionality, but it also stores and indexes data too.

Basically, a BGS is Google.

Another way #Calckey is similar to #WordPress is the cloud storage options.

Yes, like #Twitter, Calckey can store photos and videos.

But like WordPress, Calckey can also host documents, audio, and even zip files on your drive!

How cool is that?
