I just realised I was paying $30/month for an old Dropbox I used to pay $10/month for.
Goodbye Dropbox, hello $2.49/month Google Drive!
Check your monthly billings...
Please, give up on Calckey, since I'm going to block calckey.social very soon for inapprociate for me posts. It has a very bad community that I don't recommend at all.
Each #Fediverse project has it's own community. Each instance/server has it's own community.
@mitexleo NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Depends on what #Fediverse project you join, you actually join DIFFERENT communities!!!!!!!!
Calckey, Misskey, Soapbox and etc - they all have AWFUL community that you 100% dislike!
Please, don't join ANY of those communities and keep be active in #Mastodon !
It’s weird having different accounts in the #Fediverse universe that can talk to each other. I can have indepth discussions between myself and myself…. 😜
You can also create your own based on the existing themes, or the themes found in the mentioned site above. Just don't forget to share your own themes. ^_^
We need a federated alternative to Mastodon designed specifically for journalists (and one for government sites). Is there a publishing platform that most outlets use for managing their website articles? Maybe a modified FOSS version of that.
But again, we're part of the #openweb. Every server should be searchable unless they specifically opt out. The "safe space" culture developed to keep servers healthy when the #fediverse was sparse. Mastodon should adapt to the changing user base to thrive.
People??? Why are you freaking out so much about the change in the #Mastodon iOS app where mastodon.social is now displayed in the welcome screen?
There is nothing wrong with there being a flagship instance, people interested in specific instances and decentralization will find their own instance, and this is in no way harmful to the #Fediverse
The team is attempting to make it friendlier and there's nothing wrong with that, nobody is shutting down your instance, ActivityPub will keep working
A #feditip to those trying other #fediverse software: Treat your new account as you would signing-up in a new #SNS.
A more detailed #feditips: 1. Let each of your account grow separately.
It is fine to follow certain groups and users. These are your ‘core’ interaction. But for the rest, keep them separate and let it grow organically.
2. Define a certain theme or topic or purpose for your new account.
Since we are in an interconnected network, you will end up having a major overlap between your first account and your succeeding accounts. Which might confuse you later (as well as your followers).
For example, I still post my new articles through my @youronlyone account, for two major reasons: Follower Badge, and #Indieweb support via #Bridgy.
3. Use this opportunity to learn how discovery, growth, and reach, works in the #MycelialNetwork (or #SocialWeb)
By letting your new account grow organically, and keeping the overlap with your first account at a minimum, you will be able to observe how discovery, growth, and reach, works in the network.
The Misskey and Calckey accounts are organically growing. I also discover new people, new content, that I haven't seen in my #Mastodon account (@youronlyone). And I asked myself, why? As I find answers to that question, I slowly adjust my interactions, and this in turn helped me discover more and reach wider.
The Mycelial Network (as I now prefer to call the Fediverse), is huge. When it started in 2008, it was small, and we all know each other. Today, I've probably only discovered and reached 0.5% of the network. It grew that fast.
Something's wrong with me, I'm now checking out my third #Fediverse platform, #Calckey.social 🤪 Have to say the interface there is pretty slick. Lots of customization just like Akkoma
@Khayman you'd be pleased to know I've reduced my #fediverse accounts to 2 one in Mastodon, my usual main one in vmst.io and one in #calckey, the one you're seeing me from.
Excellent deep dive on the current state of the #fediverse and #mastodon, with a detailed history of the movement to #decentralize#social, and predictions about where we go from here.
Think upgraded #UI experience vs. what you typically see on #Mastodon - with some extra features thrown in. Of course being #ActivityPub, it interacts nicely with others.
I’ve spun up another #MagicalTrash test account to natively explore - @DreamfulDreck - if you happen to also be poking around there and want to say “hi!”
