concept: calckey instance for linguists called "calque key"

:senkohmm: should i run akkoma or calckey

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, ActivityPub/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ActivityPub plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Fediverse made useful by the emotes, web interfaces and vital actors comprising a full social network as defined by the W3C.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Fediverse system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of ActivityPub which is widely used today is often called "Mastodon", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Fediverse.

There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Mastodon is the server: the program in the Fediverse that gives access to the users and notes. The server is an essential part of the Fediverse, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete Fediverse. Mastodon is normally used in combination with the Fediverse network: the whole system is basically ActivityPub with Mastodon added, or ActivityPub/Mastodon. All the so-called "Mastodon" instances are really instances of ActivityPub/Mastodon.

[installs mastodon and opens registration] my job here is done

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me (if you're really worried, the instance is still up and active, it looks like the active user count just glitched out after a server upgrade :hehehe:)

mastodon.lol's activity really fell off i see :|

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me it took us like 5 minutes to figure out how to open the timeline xbvmnzxcvbmzxvbxzmv
but does it really add anything over the standard UI? doesn't look like we can fit anything more (and the timeline windows share state so can't have like, both the home and global timelines open at once)

:senkohmm: not sure if i prefer the default or classic UI

meanwhile the deck UI is just a mess and how does anyone even. use this

gonna stubbornly start calling posts "notes", and the fediverse "the misskey network", to annoy mastodon users

dolphin is so nice :woem: works perfectly out of the box
...well, except that it disabled sound at first

a lot better than some other emulators [cough] retroarch [cough] tho

mornyan :ralseidead:

i am european which means i hate every other european country for no real reason

:kittysit:

one of these days were gonna boost a post twice because we forgot we already did

"pleroma on a pentium 4" this "gotosocial on a raspi 1" that, when will we get a fedi server that can barely boot on a threadripper

wait that's just misskey's frontend

FediTip: if your instance says it runs "Mastodon", "Pleroma", or "Misskey", watch out! you are not running an official release of Fedi™verse® software! tell your admin to switch to legitimate software at https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/, https://akkoma.dev/, or https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey

@puniko :bongocat: yesssss, the chasm's so pretty
