Well, OK. Firefish sounded good, but if there’s an IP clash (until at least 2032 by my search) then maybe they need something else like FireGuppy or something.
I’m not a big fan of “IceShrimp” to get my friends into the social media platform. Let’s throw around a bunch of ideas for [Random-cool-word1] + [Random-cool-word-2] and see what we can come up with.
Also, this drama seems overblown. Take a breath, people!
TL;DR: Internet drama. Some person is screaming bloody murder about the project lead (I assume) and makes up accusations and backs them up with more accusations which all dont seem to hold.
Completely idiotic and kindergarten stuff. Not even worth reading. Get a life, people.
I couldn't exactly make sense. Guy claims Fire Fish is trademarked already and decides to fork it to change the name to Ice Shrimp in bad faith due to prior beef with Fire Fish dev.
Firefish is used for several different things from what I can see while googling. Firefish.ltd.uk and Firefish.io that seems to be bitcoin related. So I find an odd choise for calckey name.
They shoulda called it 'Slamkey' - boom ya got your misskey reference, it explains what it is (a place where you slam keys) and your premier instance can be slamkey social.
Why did Calckey need to change their name at all? I mean we just saw Twitter change its name for literally no reason and I can already predict how that's going to go.
Calckey sounds like some sort of spreadsheet software, not social media. It does not sound fun and lively, and is a poor name for a social networking software, imho.
It's one of those project names that only makes sense if you know that the creator goes by the name 'thatonecalculator', 'calc' for short and it's their fork of 'misskey' - boom, it's calckey.
But for anyone else and general adoption it really doesn't suit it. I think I'd have to come up with new names for some of my personal projects too if I ever released them since the naming scheme is similar... like 'dowathbin' 'dowathstodon'
