Ok, I’ll admit it, I can see the appeal of #calckey. Dare I say it is better than #mastodon… 😱
The few things that are absolutely winning me over:
the social tab as well as all the other post discovery tabs. It sounds so dumb, but discovery is actually really nice! Not just for my posts, but to see other posts! It’s such a no-brainer!
quote-posts. Ok, I was really skeptical of it, but honestly the fediverse is just full of lovely people and being able to slap context onto a post or point to another post within a post is incredible
the big-ass text limit, good lord
the reactions to post
If I were to describe #mastodon, I would say it’s kind and stable, but boring. If I was to describe #calckey, it would be fun and hectic, but early and buggy
I like the UI of Soapbox best, I find Calckey to be busy and distracting. I actually, don't like leaving it open on my desktop because of all the annimations.
Quote posts are nice and available on both platforms.
I like the "Channels" feature and am excited to see where they go. Also, the availability of search is very nice.
I'm not yet ready to switch this account to either of them.
@skua@stpaultim@wenzel looks like there are plenty of options for managing the UI. However, there is none for disabling the animations (I would imagine that is quite the ask tbh)
@rootfsext2gz It is actively being tested and should be implemented very soon. (Not an insider but saw a post from Ada saying that):calc_smile_hearts:
