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.

IIRC, Catodon development is currently halted (https://catodon.social/notes/9rl77swzw25jjq7x).

Sharkey I don’t know

There really is a whole *keys forks lore ha ha

The problem is that Misskey code is bad. This is the main reason the forks exist at all. Iceshrimp is rewriting from scratch in C# and it’s my main hope for the *keys.
