    this seems like a really odd choice. admittedly the old name wasn’t great, it sounded like spreadsheet software.

    but they’ve gone from a name that was the top search result to one that will never be, because the current top search result for “firefish” is a recruitment company that can put a lot more money into seo than they can; and a name that most people who would use it (techies & early adopters) will immediately assume is a firefox fork or mozilla product

    in isolation it’s not a bad name, and i really like the new logo; but it just seems like a poor choice

      I agree with everything you said. I do hope if they see all the lukewarm/negative feedback and decide to rebrand again that they stick with the fish theme and icon. It’s cute and I like that all the microblog platforms have animals associated with them. Bird, Elephant, and now Fish. Elephant and Fish can be friends, Bird can fuck off.

    I don’t know how I feel about the new name, but I’m curious to see what new features come with the rebranding.

    Calckey/Firefish is by far my favourite microblogging platform. It has a greater number of features than mastodon, and I personally find it more inviting.

    What I wanna know is, with it being its own thing now (rather than a fork of misskey), while it still be supported by Misskey apps, like MilkTea?
