🏳️🌈Superdave! 😘🍷👨🦯Playing on a calkey instance at https://bostonsocial.online and finding setup challenging. Most of the form controls are unlabeled. I have to keep switching the screen reader between focus and browse modes, to see what field I might be filling in. I have an account, but no posts in tl. Trying to look at trending topics. Tomorrow, this instance may become #firefish according to an announcement. #computerplay
Brandon Tyson@wx1g Which instance would become Firefish, 4bear?
@BTyson bostonsocial.online
@wx1g I don't understand what the differences are between Calci and Firefish.
@BTyson I don't think there is much difference yet. Firefish is a recent fork.
@wx1g Are they both forks of Mastodon? Like, is Calci just another Mastodon?
@BTyson They're not forks of Mastodon, but they federate with it.
@wx1g What are they used for?
@BTyson They can make longer posts, they have text search, they let you use Markdown in posts. There's more but I can't think of it. The #accessibility isn't very good; I hope it improves. I found some unlabeled fields, controls marked with what orca calls "Chinese characters", and some of the instances have a challenging captcha. They will take Mastodon user lists, like your followers.
@wx1g I'd probably just stay where I'm at for now.
@BTyson I'll stay here, next to the misplaced preposition; HaHaHa! Who let the grammarians out? Who? Who? Who? Who?
