RE: https://transfem.social/notes/a50tzz2tyltx00he@puniko@mk.absturztau.be Hey Puni~ uhhh how much do you know about calckey? I've been trying to do a history video on it going all the way up to FireFish and the birth of Sharkey and well... information is so hard to come by~

@ReignOfRaining@transfem.social well as far as i remember, there was a big discussion around misskey, when they implemented ip logging and some ai stuff. a lot of the western hosters didnt like that. as a result foundkey and calckey forked from misskey. foundkey focused on making it stable small changes with a bunch of patches (you can ask @johann150@genau.qwertqwefsday.eu about its history and stuff). and calckey added a bunch of features. as time goes on, calckey community was getting quite big and dedicated so they renamed the project to firefish. foundkey later went to maintanence only because of lack of contribution and some other stuff i dont want to get into. firefish did have its own drama (project owner being afk for a while and it made the community very uneasy) which lead to several forks (iceshrimp, sharkey and some others). idk who on fedi could give you a better insight on firefish history

as far as I remember it was mostly that with foundkey I focused more on the backend and the changes weren't as easy to spot to the end user. There were some frontend changes and contributions that were lots of finishing refactoring that misskey had already started or other cleanup stuff.
i cannot accurately portray what calckey was doing either, but from what i heard they did more frontend stuff which was more end user visible, but also copying changes from foundkey. i think they also rewrote a tiny bit of it in rust (as a joke?) and made a masto-api compatibility thing.
to be a bit more specific about the thing puni didn't want to get into was several episodes of drama between calckey/firefish and foundkey. in my experience, calckey had more public relations stuff going on, while foundkey was just doing coding.
so yeah, take everything i say about calckey with several grains of salt, don't want to cause drama again.
