Slowdive - Just for a Day

You can hear what would become Souvlaki in here, but it definitely feels like a band that kind of knew what it wanted to do, but couldn't quite do it yet. They would, though...they would.

But what they could do is pleasant enough. To use the old cliche, have to walk before you can run.

Hey everyone,

Wow, what a wild ride, huh? From those first brainstorming sessions that sparked Calckey, to the epic journey that brings us here today, rebranding as Firefish - I've gotta say, I'm seriously blown away.

One year ago, Calckey was just my side project, after being a Misskey contributor for a while. But when y'all jumped on board, you made it so much more. You transformed it from my dream to our reality.

Firefish isn't just a cool name. It's everything we've been working towards. It's late nights, strong coffee, wild ideas, laughs, and even the occasional tears. It's our little space on the web where we're constantly pushing for the next big thing, and always looking out for one another.

So here we are, at the start of something new. Firefish is more than just a rebrand - it's a celebration. A celebration of you, me, and us. It's a tribute to the amazing community we've built together. Firefish is all of YOU.

We put together video that I feel really gets to the heart of Firefish. We wanted to show you guys what this whole journey has meant to us, and how excited we are to be taking this next step together.

Before I go, I just want to say a big, massive, thank you. Thank you to all the patrons who supported this. Thank you to @blackspike for the absolutely stunning logo. Thank you @angelolz for the beautiful trailer. Thank you to our development team who's made some amazing strides. And thank you all for believing in this wild idea, thank you for your support, and thank you for being part of the coolest community on the web. You guys are the real backbone of all this.

Here's to the next chapter of our journey as Firefish. Exciting times ahead, and I can't wait to see where we go from here!

Posts will shortly follow with release notes, roadmaps, technical details, migration plans. I'll keep this thread updated.

Much love,
Kainoa

Wondering where to meet up and get some food before the Slowdive gig on the 22nd? Your pals at BLWL have got it sorted out.

We will be taking over the decks at Jack & Bones (107 Flinders Lane), spinning old and new shoegaze tunes until the gig starts. We'll kick off from about 5-ish and be done in time for everyone to get to the Forum to catch the supports. Good times!

Jack & Bones is only 250 meters away from the Forum. We'd love to see you there.

Pls boost to spread the word 🍻

CalcKey/Mastodon is Curve.
Threads is Garbage.

And yes, I’m referring to the musical artists, thought the more literal meaning may also fit.

I'm an older guy and was a #BBS sysop back in the 90s. Which BBS did you run? Maybe we know each other?
