Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get in contact with Kainoa or someone, because I really want to move instances and keep all of my account stuff.
The server has been going down time and time again and I just want to move to something that isn’t as likely to just not exist one day out of the blue.
@maegul
it’s sad to see that, and all of it was foreseeable in april 2023 already …
@RustyOperator
Yea … I’ve said it elsewhere … in hindsight it’s fairly clear to me that some people with an excessive marketing and growth mindset and their own agendas got involved with Firefish/calckey and burnt it out from the inside with excessive hype and ambition rather than letting it grow organically.
From what I’ve gathered, that’s more or less what happened.
@maegul
when i saw all that happening, i was sure that firefish won’t swim, but die soon > the rebranding happened behind closed doors, only to claim that ff was a community project > then, april got kicked out of the dev team, and there was no one else at firefish anymore to do serious backend work > firefish felt like a sect, consumed by its own hype
@RustyOperator
What’s funny is however well intended their actions were, those behind the scenes people have probably done the most to burn me out of the fediverse and be rather wary of all of the stuff and hype going on over here.
Like in many ways I don’t think I want to be in the same space as people doing that sort of thing and there’s a good chance that if I were in a room with all of them I’d get weird vibes and bail.
Part of this is that I’m maybe burnt out from dealing with similar-ish tech-bro-beta-VC vibes before.
