@atomicpoet @fediversenews That is the least of calckey’s page problems.
If that landing page were my first or worse — sole — introduction to the fediverse, I would go running back to twitter even with all its ugliness. That has to the be the most frustrating page I’ve seen in a decade.
I don’t know what calckey is. BUt it says it’s respecting privacy.
The only text that might clue me in is scrolling on the right super fast and I can’t stop the scrolling.
when I finally find a popup, it takes me to a different page where “Users” is selected, but I can’t select “Explore” to find out more — I STILL don’t know what “Calckey” actually is.
I never heard of Calckey before your post right here. And I STILL now, don’t know exactly what Calckey is, even though I am plenty versed in mastodon and the fediverse.
Horrible.
@gdiak @godofbiscuits I don't think it's very much like Mastodon at all. We should probably work on explaining this to people who believe "Mastodon is the Fediverse".
@atomicpoet@mastodon.social @gdiak@venera.social @godofbiscuits@sfba.social I agree... Is forgotten to mention chat, pages, channels, groups, etc.
I originally described #calckey as Twitter for power users, but I would amend that to include some similarities to farcebook.
Apart from the UI and some features (quotes, markdown, reactions, etc) I don’t see any major difference.
If you want simplicity/minimalism you go for mastodon. If you want more fancy (and more feature) staff you go for calckey
