Two thumbs up dev(s), hope you're doing okay and getting some sleep in between. Had some rough production upgrades in my life, and this sounds like a pretty bad one. 😖

Yep! All of which is important in the case of firefish as its main value is as an alternative to mastodon to increase diversity across the fediverse. In many ways firefish is probably dropping the ball along the lines you provide, and so lessening their potential influence while also creating a non trivial amount of bitterness amongst off-put users.

A lot of new Fediverse projects, too, misidentify who their audience is. Calckey has a really good UX (most of the time), and I had zero issues as just an account user on Calc's server, but the support for would-be admins is... A chat room, and documentation that is half so far out of date that some of it is in Japanese.

That's not going to grow the presence. That doesn't get new instances online. That doesn't get an ecosystem with good moderators and admins. That doesn't get the infrastructure in place - technical and social - to truly take off.
