It makes me really sad to say that even after all this, I'm now considering jumping over to another calckey server, one without as many outages. I'd just like to be able to use it on the regular without all the hiccups.

Though I love calckey.social, and I want to see them get it up and running proper, at this point in time I'm really just trying to establish myself in one place, y'know?

If I were #Tumblr or #Flickr or #Substack or #Post I’d quadruple the tech staff building out #ActivityPub support stat! And follow the lead of pioneers like @coachtony @Flipboard and @mozilla … if I were #Linkedin, #Pinterest or the like, I’d hire an ActivityPub team fast!
In the same boat as a lot of people right now, looking inward and feeling a little silly about where I sit on social media use.

Obviously, I use it a lot, and yeah it was mostly Twitter. But that's because most of the people I know use it, and those are the people I want to check up on. The funny, profound, interesting and beautiful people I've spent years finding and connecting with. I love what the Fediverse is, but none of my people are interested in Fedi at all. That puts me between a rock (staying on Twitter, engaging with more hateful content, drowning in ads, victim to the horrible never-ending revolving onslaught of bullshit,) and a hard place, (readjusting to a new social media platform.)

I'm happy with Calckey, but a lot of what drew me in is just out of reach. I'm still waiting for post migration, even though I know its coming, I want to hold onto the memories from my old mastodon posts and especially my tweets over the years. And as much as I understand the need to defederate with new platforms like Threads, that drives even more crap between me and the people I want to be connected to. That said, I saw this little post the other day and I'm still coming to terms with how it makes me feel.

It totally applies to this. I might be closing myself off to newer, better things by clinging to the past and trying to dredge up the things I remember fondly. It's just a hard pill to swallow, for me anyways.

That said, will Threads federate soon? I wouldn't mind being able to at the very very least communicate with my old friends that way.
I've given up on wondering why my friends are all clinging to the platforms with a billionaire at the helm.
Today is the only day you can boost this.
I DON'T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS, BUT [*DEAFENING AIRHORN BLAST*]
This transparency and commitment is really refreshing, actually. It's good to be here. #Fediverse #Calckey

:boost_requested: So, an update on things. #Calckey 1. I'm very sorry for all of the degraded performance lately on calckey.social. As you may or may not know, we've been testing changes with our codebase, database deployment, ims deployment, and a whole lot more. After a lot of testing and changes, I thought that we were good enough to start opening signups again. Turns out... we're not. As I continue to work on things and start team up with some very smart people who've worked in deployment and scaling systems, we're going to do our absolute best to make sure that we can handle things on all ends, and hopefully get extra hands on deck for day-to-day operations, so it's not all on my shoulders. I was sadly unable to attend to a lot of things yesterday due to being out of town for the holiday, and being in a no-service area for the majority of the day, so I didn't know that there were issues until it was too late. Thank you for your patience as we go through growing pains. A full write-up on what went wrong, the steps we took, and how it's fixed (once it's fixed!) will be made after all this is done. For real. 2. I did NOT expect this amount of support, interest, and coverage! Hitting 13k from 11k in a little over 2 days across all servers is still boggling my mind. And it's not just calckey.social -- so many other servers are getting new users, and even ~30 new servers cropped up! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I'll make sure that I do my hardest to make sure you all have a great experience. 3. As promised, you all deserve a peak into what we've been working on in secret for months. More details to come tonight/tomorrow. Stay tuned. 😉 Sincerely, Kainoa
