    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 just wish people would write how old they are before posting anything online, so we can have better assumptions about what drives them.

      One of the longest and most immature feuds I’ve ever had online was with a woman who turned out to be 41.

    Ooo, maybe we should start a fandom-wank style community and collect all this. We just need a good name. Fedidrama? Fediwank? Fediwars?

      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.

          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’

    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!
