npub1k9arkn78gmdp5ew20r44aqwwu84wjhvshjf9kcht46heh4zajthsjjm3yh (npub1k9a…m3yh) From my understanding:
- Calckey seemed to have been created to be like Akkoma, with an emphasis of adding user-beloved features to Misskey
- Kainoa did some pretty awful fuckups, but overall is a good dev in my eyes
- After Calckey's rebrand into Firefish, things went smoothly (at least in my eyes), but there were still numerous people who didn't like it
- Iceshrimp was created to add even more features than Firefish
- Magnetar wanted to function more like Misskey instead
- Same with Sharkey
Overall, as silly as the forking of free software is in general, I don't really consider it a major problem. New users, if they don't like the look of Pleroma or the featureset of Mastodon, would have the choice between Firefish and Misskey anyways, so I would not be so worried about those forks confusing them. Also, experienced users know how to choose between the different Misskey forks anyways. It's just that having these forks at all is a bit silly.
