Survey by Japanese News Site Nlab asks users where they are moving to from Twitter/X - Misskey wins with 41% (n=5119)
The final ranking is as follows.
Misskey (41.3%)
Bluesky (19.9%)
Taittsu/タイッツー (13.4%)
Mastodon (10.7%)
Discord (5.5%)
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.
The fediverse is winning.
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).
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.
I wish there was a way to sign up for the main instance outside of Japan.
The other instances are… Odd.
You could try one of the many Misskey forks
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.
Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.
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 😎
I see. Yeah, it would be confusing for everyone who didn’t see. Sorry.
Oh it’s fine :) I was wondering if I had misread the op when I saw all the Taittsuu comments…
You were right. The body text had transcribed as ツイッター incorrectly. It’s been edited out since.
