I have been trying to get access to my feed for most of the day, and I am just getting timed out messages and no feeds. Anyone else part of this instance? Can you confirm if it is alive.

I really like calckey but the stability has me thinking about switching back to vanilla Mastodon.

Yeah 100% no shade on what they are doing. I think it's great. But I do want to be able to access my accounts regularly without major problems. I'll stick it out a little longer, mainly because I already lost all my posts migrating from Masto, and I don't want to lose all my posts again migrating back haha.

@hellerphant

Really vital point you make there. It illustrates the ways in which a dominant platform shapes the ecosystem to be more like it, especially when the ecosystem is one of interconnectedness.

Calckey offers full post migration from mastodon to calckey. Great. But mastodon doesn’t offer the reverse. Ok, don’t use mastodon, that’s shit. But everyone is already using mastodon and have their posts there. Ok, stay on mastodon then, safer!

@hellerphant not criticising you here at all. It’s just that there is an insidiousness there when the protocol doesn’t guarantee things.
