    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.

      Japanese-oriented fediverse software, like Mastodon but more fun (like custom emoji reaction, groups, and games).

        Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.

        Those reaction emojis ± count like discord vs upvote/downvote is like going from Grayscale to Color TV. Worlds Apart. Night & Day. Misskey is leading the way.

              If the main platform has weird looking instances, I can’t imagine the forks being much better.

              Though I guess I could just set up on another instance and mostly follow content from different ones if they’re federated.

              I’m also pretty lazy and last time I tried that I got pretty discouraged.

    That’s not “taittsu”, it read tsuittaa = twitter

    Edit: apparently katakana had a typo, the correct was indeed Taittsu.

      Is it spam, or is it literally just people using the fediverse as intended, coincidentally in a language you don’t speak? Folks who speak a language other than english aren’t less welcome in the fediverse.

      If it’s an issue because it’s drowning out all the stuff you can read and engage with, I think you can set a Mastodon account so you only see posts in a certain language. Other platforms may have similar settings

        If it randomly mentions other users, and if it comes in such masses that Mastodon admins have to raise the shields and Fediblock the hell out of dozens of instances, then it’s spam all right.

        That said, the last spam wave was organised on Misskey again, but carried out by bots from Mastodon instances largely abandoned by their admins. At least partially, this was the case for the first big spam wave as well.

        It’s spam. Most Fediverse software like Mastodon and Pleroma support MRFs that protect against spam, as I understand it, but Misskey doesn’t. And since Misskey users are mostly Japanese, so is that spam, as it’s targeting that Japanese audience.

          Interesting, thank you for expanding on how the spam issue has happened.

          I’d not heard of MRFs before, from some searching around it would seem its a Markov Random Field model (in case anyone sees this and also didn’t know what it was)
