Firefish Could Be the Next Big Thing
(wedistribute.org)
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
that's just not true > when c.s switched over to dev branch in april 2023, this was not motivated by wanting to become a "test instance" > rather, this was a desperate move to keep the instance afloat which by then had been become quite wonky > afterwards, things got even worse, so the transpicuous idea to rebrand the whole project
noting, absolutely nothing about f.s is about being a test instance > see also atomicpoet's post about movin away from f.s - f.s was supposed to be a flagship instance, but only evolved into a shipwreck
the biggest disadvantage of firefish: its community which has become like a sect - but that had been going on for a very long time already ...
Didn’t know about atomicpoet moving on from firefish.social. Makes sense. Interesting time for firefish then, as it seemed atomicpoet and their contacts were supporting the platform in a number of ways. The departure seems a little like that got burnt out leaving the lead dev and their contributors to their own devices.
