Bluesky (19.9%)
Taittsu/タイッツー (13.4%)
Mastodon (10.7%)
Discord (5.5%)
The fediverse is winning.
That’s fantastic.
It seems clear the English speaking web has a preference for Bluesky. It would be interesting to know how much variation there is between users of other European languages. It seems to me the Germans are pretty active in the Fediverse, which makes sense considering a significant portion of them have been huge privacy nerds since the fall of the GDR.
Activpub is winning. Fuck yeah lets goooooooooo
What’s Misskey? Never heard of! Time to check.
Japanese-oriented fediverse software, like Mastodon but more fun (like custom emoji reaction, groups, and games).
That’s not “taittsu”, it read tsuittaa = twitter
Edit: apparently katakana had a typo, the correct was indeed Taittsu.
タイッツー is definitely taittsuu. Twitter doesn’t seem to use a katakana spelling. Your proposal of “tsuittaa” would be ツイッター. Same katakana but different order. There would be no reason to read Japanese from right to left. Might be an intentional pun though.
Edit: it’s https://taittsuu.com/
No, @hitagi@ani.social was correct, the post originally had a typo in it, which I fixed after I got corrected through an earlier comment, but the replies don’t seem to federate properly 😅 Also yes, Taittsu seems to be an intentional pun on Twitter
It’s Taittsuu
Twitter would be ツイッター
It was ツイッター and later corrected. Now I’m going to check out Taittsuu 😎
You were right. The body text had transcribed as ツイッター incorrectly. It’s been edited out since.
So that’s why all the spam is Japanese.
