@jaypeach53 No plans to decommission calckey.art. I don’t know why it isn’t listed on the site. Perhaps @kainoa has insight.

Did you know that 7 out of the 10 fastest growing #Fediverse servers aren't Mastodon? It's pretty cool! Here are the top servers and their respective account numbers:

1. mastodon.social: +258K accounts (Mastodon)
2. misskey.io: +125K accounts (Misskey)
3. lemmy.world: +60K accounts (Lemmy)
4. mstdn.jp: +35K accounts (Mastodon)
5. lemmynsfw.com +20K accounts (Lemmy)
6. nijimiss.moe: +18K accounts (Misskey)
7. sh.itjust.works: +12K accounts (Lemmy)
8. misskey.design: +11K accounts (Misskey)
9. mastodon-japan.net: +11K accounts (Mastodon)
10. kbin.social: +9.9K accounts (Kbin)

It's really interesting to see how diverse the Fediverse is becoming, don't you think? It makes us wonder -- when do you think the Tech Press will finally acknowledge that Mastodon isn't the only platform in the spotlight? 🙂

@vyr If you're building a client that supports Firefish, I want in. Would love access to the beta if you'll let me test it 😊

@BigMcLargeHuge Both are perfectly fine. If you have the financial resources, running an open Fediverse server that allows registrations can be quite rewarding. Just keep in mind that moderation needs to be handled more diligently than on a single-user server.

On the other hand, for most people, running a federated single-user server might be a better choice. It's a more affordable option to consider.

As a #Firefish admin, I really don't have any interest in taking over anyone's identity.

I strongly believe that social media identity is extremely valuable and should not be meddled with. That's precisely why @kainoa made sure to include account migration as a crucial feature for Firefish. I also want to give a shoutout to @Gargron for being a pioneer in account migration.

Moreover, I truly believe that it's important, if feasible for you, to have your own server. It gives you complete control over your social media identity. If you have the time and resources, self-hosting is a great option. However, if time is limited, going for a fully managed host like #MastoHost or #SpaceHost can work equally well.

Ultimately, the main idea here is that your social media identity should truly and genuinely belong to you.

So, something important to keep in mind when you're using Twitter, or any other Big Social platform, is that they basically have ownership over everything related to you, even your identity. A perfect example of this is the recent saga of the Twitter username formerly known as X.

Elon Musk takes over @x Twitter account – without paying owner

The social network replaced the bird icon with the letter X as part of its rebranding exercise
