Bummer. I've seen a few posts here and there talking about #firefish shutting down over the past few months, but now it's official.
"Firefish will enter maintenance mode"

@jasdemi Seeing Mastodon, the one big prominent fediverse platform only being able to pay 2-3 full-time developers, I can imagine the struggle of working on a lesser known one.
Hopefully folks will migrate to new homes across the fediverse.
Really shows the importance of funding the work we enjoy and value.

@stefan Had a Calckey => Firefish account, then deleted it many months ago (probably before the latest maintainer took it). The environment around the project at the time was really generating bad feelings...
This all seems a logical conclusion. -

@cybeardjm Hmm, yeah, I think I might've caught some bits and pieces, but haven't really been following closely.
Still, it's a shame. Onto better things now.

In the light of this news, it's even more important to support other fediverse platforms and server admins and moderators.
