Firefish is a new Fediverse social platform with a beautiful design, cool features, and great tools for your feed. It has a lot of potential to grow.

"In the end, what firefish/calckey/misskey shows is that the fediverse doesn’t need to merely be either a twitter or instagram or reddit clone … it can be many things often combined in different ways. Many have kinda forgotten (or worse never realised) that that can be the case largely because of how stagnant big social platforms are. "

This statement by @maegul@maegul@lemmy.ml is a very important sentence for me. It reminds me of a statement that a participant at a Fediverse meeting said: "Maybe the Fediverse shouldn't be sold as a substitute product like 'vegan sausage', but as something in its own right."

(transl./ original in german: "Vielleicht sollte man das Fediverse nicht wie 'vegane Wurst' als Ersatzprodukt verkaufen, sondern als etwas Eigenständiges.")

Thank you for your articles @deadsuperhero@deadsuperhero@lemmy.ml , which show that!

Vegan sausage is a perfect analogy! Thanks!
