A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Cool things on Firefish/clackey, that Mastodon and most of it forks don't have:
• Quote notes (Misskey and Akkoma, a fork of Pleroma, also have them)
• Antennas. They allow you to add words, tags and accounts to lists and create parallel timelines that you can see whenever you want, without having to follow this accounts
• You can create personalized timelines for certain accounts to appear in.
• It has a drive section where you can upload files.
• Channels. This are public local group that the members of a server can create, join and interact within.
• Private chat groups. Local only.
• Emoji reactions
• Clips. These are collections of notes ("note" is the name post receive in Misskey and Firefish)
• You can create custom web pages. For now they don't federate.
• Customisable (by admin) character limit.
A drive section to upload files sounds like hell as an admin
Here a better explanation from the Misskey (from where Firefish took this feature) official page
I haven't seen any Misskey or Firefish admin commenting negatively about the existence of the drive feature itself
That is a little different than I imagined. Still not sure how I feel about it though lol
