Reflecting on the firefish/calckey "moment"

which was about a year ago now, I can't help but suspect it was a small event with wider implications on the dominance of #mastodon in the #fediverse

I think it was the last chance to direct the twitter migration energy into discovering new/different fedi platforms.

And it was blown, with alt-social in a weird steady/waiting state that's smaller I suspect, than what many hoped for.

Yeah, as a beehaw user, I'm pretty familiar with the situation. I'm not going to re-hash the whole thing here (and I don't represent the instance), but let's just say PR's for features were offered, but not accepted. Discussion was attempted but it resulted in Lemmy devs asking beehaw to fuck off - so that's the end of that.

There's an alternative being tested. I believe we're going to Sublinks, but there's still active development going and sizeable migration. So we're still here. For the time being.

I’m only vaguely aware of the history here. Any chance you’ve got some links to these PRs? Not sea lioning (or at least that’s not the point) … genuinely curious to see what happened.

There's a good write-up from the Beehaw admins here: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

Thanks, but I couldn't find any links to PRs in there (which is what I was mainly interested in). The rest of the dynamic explained in there I'm roughly familiar with.
