I'm seeing some instance admins having a beef with the lead developer of Firefish and instead of being adults and handling their disagreement in private, they're publicly airing laundry and threatening to de-federate. I'll admit I don't know all the details, but I've been on Firefish (which used to be Calckey) for a while now and I feel like I can vouch for @kainoa's integrity and his decision-making to date. He's super responsive, he advocates tirelessly for marginalized groups.

Big news today! We've traded in the name #Calckey for a fresh, dynamic identity, #Firefish!

Over the past several months, we've been pouring our energy and focus into this thrilling rebranding journey, operating behind the scenes to orchestrate this metamorphosis for you. Can you believe it? Quite a transformation indeed.

Keeping this all a secret was a bit tough, but it was the right call. As much as I've grown attached to our good old 'Calckey', it was often mistaken for a math app rather than the social media powerhouse it really is. Plus, our project has beautifully evolved into a thriving, community-centric endeavor, so a name change to reflect that felt right.

Now let's talk about the new Firefish logo, which I'm absolutely fond of. Its bold yet approachable style resonates with me. I'm also really digging the vibrant red and orange hues. And have you visited joinfirefish.org? The interactive logo gives you a little wink and glug, as if it's happily swimming in the vast digital sea. It genuinely feels like it's diving into the deep corners of the #Fediverse.

But here's the best part: Firefish isn't just a name. It represents our welcoming and passionate community, underpinned by our robust, feature-filled software that never stops pushing boundaries. Firefish is like this friendly deep-sea explorer taking the plunge into the wild waves of the social media world. Ready to jump in with us? Let's make a splash!

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
