   So I've figured out that Mastodon, Misskey, and Pleroma are three similar but different microblogging services. I also know that Glitch, Hometown, Iceshrimp, Firefish, Soapbox/Rebased, Akkona et al. are popular forks of these.

   But what are the differences? Why use one over the other?

   Is there a full writeup? I have seen a few guides that compare some of them, but most are old and none of them show the full picture.

   If not, could someone smart write one please?

     @objectinspace On Firefish I can have cat ears on the avatar picture, and there are more reactions than “like”, e.g. “haha” or “angry”. Also it has encrypted DMs.

     For a full write-up I don’t know enough.

     @GreenSkyOverMe @objectinspace All of those are Misskey features, except for the chat feature. Pleroma has the chat feature.
