Reflecting on the firefish/calckey "moment"

Fediverse@lemmy.ml – 21 points – 7 months ago

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.

Thanks for the context.

And yeah - a lot of fedi is built on spur of the moment inspiration without much planning on the long term. Sometimes it works out (like pixelfeed and the other related projects) and sometimes the passion of one (or small group) of devs just isn't enough.

Lemmy is pretty good example (from the other side of the scale) as well - we're at version 0.18.4 - and the devs are pretty hostile.

Don't know exactly what you mean ... but AFAICT, this is a relatively beehaw situation, for better or worse.

Yeah, exactly the beehaw vs. lemmy situation.
