Hey Fedi friends,
I am testing a brand new calckey plug-in created by the talented @box464
The plug-in allows you to tag the creator of MFM art or anything else you might want to highlight with a little tag.
Super awesome and easy to use. @box464 can surely explain it better than I.
En revanche, l'animation ne s'affiche pas quand on la voit depuis notre instance, j'imagine que c'est une histoire de version et que ça sera résolu quand elle sera mise à jour en version 14.0.
Il faut cliquer "voir sur l'instance distante" pour la voir tourner sur calckey.social (et cliquer sur le bouton "Play MFM").
Proof, if proof were needed, that I felt the importance of #MFM when I arrived here and Johnny-come-latelys like Trottier (😁) are only playing catch-up. Calckey wants you to use their special features.
Me, looking at the post Chris mentions, having disabled MFM animations and running some custom CSS to keep everything at x1 size. And all I see is my own personal bliss. 😌 Yeah, I find MFM animations and swirling large text quite overwhelming.
Turn of MFM animations & stick the following code in your custom CSS area of the settings:
@atomicpoet I think whatever we become we'll really only have 'succeeded' if #Calckey leads the way with #FediverseSafety ahead of features and scale.
The Calckey I see would
have a diverse team of folks that has the time to listen to the safety discourses, and the lived experience to know why safety matters, and informs their #development decisions.
make importing #blocklists or integrating third party #moderation tools easypeasy, so no user finds themselves on an new server that's open to dogpiled by the worst elements of the #Fediverse.
have granular user controls for #safety - opt-in & opt-out; and features - like turning down/off MFM when it's overwhelming without a user needing to resort to CSS scripts.
not really care to be a birdsite or #Mastodon alternative. Let's work to be a better secret third thing, or fourth, or fifth thing.
If we really have to duplicate the big influencer account thing, I'd like to see more non-White, autistic, disabled, queers, and women voices. They're here, but they're often forced to be critics of a newer hegemony. Let's be listening for how can Calckey become the main service of choice for Black, POC and Indigenous women to join, spin up servers, become developers, and have prominent voices on. The rest of the good stuff will follow that.
I think we can do that, but only if we prioritise, and promote minority voices, and do the structural work to support them coming to the service.
Since my experience of #Calckey is much more emoji-based than my experience of Mastodon (both #MFM emoji in text and emoji reactions), I figured I'd add some emoji to my bio. 💻 🌉 🧮 👨🏫 ☮️ 🥧 📚 🏳️🌈 🦀
