I should add for completeness that the existing registrations do not exactly match the provision of social networking software and services and some relevant activities in classes 38 and 45 are not registered at all, but the existing protection is broad (in particular for class 9, but this may be more a risk for the project itself, not the individual server) and close enough to consider the legal risk - a specialist lawyer will be able to do so. #calckey#firefish#trademark
I am actually getting ready to go into terminal and set one up one up right now. Terminal is loading. Waiting for my #parkinsons meds to kick in so I don't twitch click something and mess the install up. I hate that.😂
If I am successful, #FireFish can say, 'It's so easy even Paul installed it.' 😜 lol
I'm sitting up that special purpose domain (yet to be announced) we private messaged about the other day
@Shinra à ce que j'ai vu passer hier, il semble que comme Calckey, #Firefish est vraiment plus léger avec moins de ressources nécessaires que Mastodon. Mais ça reste plus exigeant que Plemora.
@mimoblog@Shinra ouuii 😁 Dans tous les cas, j'ai essayé pas très longtemps #Calckey, mais depuis quelques jours où l'on parle de #Firefish mon intérêt se manifeste davantage!
@AudraTran@firefish what it means is that Calckey as a brand name is changing to #Firefish, with a new flagship instance, new code repository etc.. If you're not an admin it shouldn't change anything for you 😉
calckey rebranding has never been a top priority of the calckey community > there has never been any poll on that matter, much less so regarding the project's new name firefish
calckey dev team is not so much about building a community, but it increasingly resembles a sect or a cult #calckey#rebranding#firefish
the cult is cutting off its very own roots instead of being proud of what has been achieved while sailing under the old moniker calckey - they have even deleted the project name calckey from the intro blog post on calckey.org which dates back to 26/03/2023, when calckey.org was launched #calckey#rebranding#firefish
See people switching to #calckey / #firefish and it sounds nice but I've decided I really want my next instance to be democratically governed - so I'd appreciate any tips on that!
I would be willing to try #firefish (formerly #calckey) again at some point, but it was a deal breaker for me that the federation (or defederation, more like) status of servers are not publicly available.
For #ActivityPub to be understandable and for clients to trust server admins, these types of decisions should always be made public whenever they are made -- preferably with reasoning as well. Otherwise, users are left in the dark and won't understand why they can't see a profile / post.
I'm kind of tempted to find a games related instance to join that doesn't use Mastodon & instead uses Misskey or Calckey/Firefish as some of their features appeal to me more.
I just need to dig around and see which instances might click with me, which is always the trick in this space.
I don't mind #Firefish as the new name for #Calckey - but I have to say that when I first read it I thought of #Firefox - as many in this Lemmy thread have - and seeing the new logo & colour I can't help but wonder if Mozilla will push back as part of their active protection of their trademark, a point @leigh makes. https://beehaw.org/post/6709040
Pro Tip, if your dealing with lag on Calckey/Firefish when using a Firefox based browser go to about:config and disable backdrop-filter, speeds up websites including Firefish!
Right on time with the rebranding of Calckey to Firefish, firefish.tech is opening its doors too! :firefish:
As you might have already guessed, the instance is focusing on tech topics, but everyone else is welcome too. We try to create a diverse community where all voices are heard.
Come swim with us and let's make waves together! :wave:
Because this fish is hot :fire::blobcatnomfish:
