TIL of Catodon, a firefish fork.

The name sounds like a cat themed mastodon instance tbh, has someone figured out why there are so many misskey forks yet?

@dansup In fact, it's called that because it just `cat`s all the posts into one big .txt file

@dansup Misskeys codebase is feature-rich (or bloated, rather) and everyone has a different idea of how to improve it.

if people don't like the direction a fork is taking development-wise, they either fork Misskey, or that fork, and then make their own set of changes.

@dansup It's because the forks are all created by cats and of course cats are going to fork the thing that has a "user is a cat" setting.

@smallcircles @dansup probably because it's written in javascript (node.js)
