Catodon is a new Sharkey/Misskey fork (Edit: sadly with AI code contributions).

To my knowledge, Catodon was started by @panos@catodon.rocks, who for the longest time was a Firefish advocate, but was disappointed by the bait and switch pulled by those devs.

With the advent of AI, Panos is taking it upon himself to fork Firefish and build the social media experience he wanted all long.

Can't really argue with that :smile:

    Ok, so I give you credit for trying but you didn’t actually explain:

    • how is this different from mastodon?
    • WHAT SPECIFIC FEATURES ARE DIFFERENT FROM MASTODON?
    • how, SPECIFICALLY, is it different from Mastodon?
    • IN WHAT WAY, does it function differently than Mastodon?

    - WHY SHOULD ANYONE GIVE A SHIT?

    Interpersonal drama is something that nobody cares about. Put that shit on your Tumblr so no one can read it.

    @homes@piefed.world if you want to use Mastodon, you are very welcome to just do that. I never liked it, never used it, it always felt to me like an outdated Twitter. I respect everything they've accomplished, of course, but that doesn't mean I want to use the software :p

    Misskey is probably the second biggest fedi microblogging platform, and has a very different approach, less strict, more fun, and with a much better looking interface. It also has emoji reactions, it has had quotes since forever (which Mastodon added very recently), there's a ton of things that are different, another one is that Mastodon has a 500 character/post limit while Catodon has 5000 etc.

    There's wonderful ecosystem in fedi, and it would be a shame if we lost that pluralism and only use one or two platforms. Another thing that is obviously different (or will be very soon), is what is described in this topic. The reason that you made your post from a Piefed account, and not a Mastodon one =)
