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. ๐
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.
