People keep bringing up the very tired “Linux on the desktop” meme to dismiss the Fediverse.

But a meme is just a meme.

In the real world, Linux dominates.

Your phone? Probably Linux. Your car’s infotainment system? Linux. Your router? Linux.

Chromebook? Linux.

Windows has a Linux Subsystem too.

Linux has won.

The “Linux on the desktop” naysayers don’t even realize it.

The Fediverse should be so lucky.

Truth be told, the Linux paradigm probably will be what becomes of the Fediverse.

What will happen is that most people will use the thing that gives them familiarity and comfort.

Which is fine.

But soon we’ll see the Fediverse begin to unlock things we didn’t think possible.

Weather trackers will use it. So will video games. It will be used on millions of websites.

Most people won’t know because it will simply power everything.

George Santos is on .

Even though Heads of State are not allowed on Bluesky, I'm not sure that policy applies to Congressmen yet.

Well, this is an unexpected curveball.

Jack Dorsey hopes that Bluesky will be “temporary”.

How likely is Bluesky to actually be “temporary”?

Of course you should be shitposting and vibing with your friends.

You should also not be making tech monopolists richer while you do it.

Social media decentralization prevents tech monopolies.

Today is the day I talk about what is and what it does. 🧵

In this thread, I will explore what I believe to be the most important features of Calckey.

SPOILER ALERT: While Calckey focuses on microblogging, that's where its similarities with (and ) end.

Meta’s ActivityPub-enabled Twitter competitor is moving ahead.

The project is called “Barcelona”.

It will be its own independent app, and it’s being pitched as “Instagram for your thoughts”.

How do you feel about Meta joining the Fediverse?

Here’s a screenshot of Barcelona.

Here’s how Jack Dorsey want to monetize Bluesky:

  1. Subscriptions
  2. Ads
  3. Commerce/Transactions

This is a big deal!

I bought the https://calckey.social domain name in December, helped set it up in February, waited a month or so to get technical issues sorted out.

And now it's blowing up.

Most of the excitement has been word of mouth, and there's been a big groundswell in demand for .

This might spread *key apps to the West -- which is very important for the health of the Fediverse!

@liaizon @shadowtux Well, I’m planning on testing it for myself very soon 😉

@clacke I have no idea.

@clacke I'm going to have to test this myself and then get back to you.

@riley I've written several threads on this. Here's two:

I do believe more users should use there’s a lot that the team and users in general can learn from those in the and clear up misconceptions

@davidslifka @supernovae @damonoutlaw @mekkaokereke David, I personally think emphasizing Mastodon over the rest of the Fediverse is a tactical mistake. So I'm just going to suggest this.

There are several members of the Black community that are working on their own implementations of Fediverse apps -- both server and client software. I've seen demos. They look fantastic.

I think it's important to boost what these devs are doing.

atomicpoet,
@atomicpoet@mastodon.social avatar

@supernovae @mekkaokereke @damonoutlaw Yeah, that’s something I’ve also realized. The longer Bluesky delays decentralization, the harder it will be once they decentralize.

Because the stark reality is that much of Bluesky’s community thinks they’re getting Twitter 2.0. And what they see in Bluesky now may not exist for long (if what Jack says is accurate).

As we’ve already seen here, decentralization is hard to instantly understand once it happens.

This is dramatic!

https://misskey.io is 4 users away from overtaking https://mastodon.online as the 6th largest server on the Fediverse!

At least according to FediDB:

https://fedidb.org/network

@fediversenews

atomicpoet, to fediverse
@atomicpoet@mastodon.social avatar

It just happened!

https://misskey.io overtook https://mastodon.online!

As tabulated by FediDB, it is now the 5th largest Fediverse server!

This is quite symbolic because, for the first time, #Misskey's flagship server now has more users than one of #Mastodon's flagship servers!

🔎 Quick actions have been added to Mastodon search! 🔎

Now Mastodon will help you quickly find hashtags, profiles, and posts when you click inside the search box and start typing.

Search on Mastodon is gradually getting better!

Again, this is available on the web version of mastodon.social. Your server or client might not have this feature yet.

See screenshot.

Interesting observation about social media “fun”:

Some people think is “fun”. However, I find it anxiety-inducing and stressful. I’m not the only one who thinks so. A few autistic people say the same thing.

seems “fun” to me because I can make it be what I need it to be. For example, it’s nice that I can create antennas devoted to my special interests.

The best way to explain is to imagine what would happen if (pre-Elon) fell in love with and they had a baby.

That baby would be Calckey.

Twitter + WordPress = Calckey

Let me explain... 🧵

This take is annoying.

But it's also not entirely @gruber's fault because the media doesn't really talk about the Fediverse, and when they do, it's as a synonym for "Mastodon".

How would @gruber know about the massive development efforts to build more user-friendly alternatives to Mastodon?

No one in the media talks about the growth of *key apps, and how they're now the #2 most used Fediverse platform.

That story isn't being told.

How the hell have *key apps been so under the radar for 9 years?!
