Misskey and its clones reminds me of MySpace
It does many things, and the UI is packed with distracting elements like the current date represented in progress bars (lol why tho?)
I wish them all the best, maybe I'm old, but I like the simplicity of Mastodon

You can remove everything and only leave the timeline (and sidebar navigation).

I find Misskey and it’s forks very interesting, but I also will more than likely stick with Mastodon.

in reply to dansup • • •I have mixed feelings about miskey.
While I know the ui is a bit much, I think that features like a gallery for artists to display their work and limited storage size make the platform innovative instead of imitative.

in reply to dansup • • •I kinda feel you on this one. I love Tusky precisely because it's so minimalistic. It doesn't even have a federated TL.
I don't want loads of features, just straightforward simplicity and intuitive design. Anything I can't do on the phone app, I can probably do on the web app, and anything I can't do on the web app, I probably don't need.

in reply to dansup • • •I'm in the same camp; There's so many things going on in *key at once, and I'm finding it difficult to parse.
For now, I'm trying out the Classic layout. I'll see if that makes a significant difference, because I've been constantly bouncing back to Mastodon just for feeling drained by all the bells and whistles in calckey.
That said, I like the richness _potential_ displayed in calckey. (As long as I don't have to engage with any of the Settings. 😬)

in reply to dansup • •I tend to agree, simplicity should be the goal. Maybe not to the extent of #mastodon but there is certainly a lot of fat to trim.
I appreciate the features that are available but maybe have a simplified layout as an option w just base features visible?

in reply to dansup • • •You can simplify the layout (there are three modes, with the simplest being a basic reverse chronological timeline).
All the dates and stuff are "widgets", of which there are more!, that are removed in the simplified view.
Calckey has a high degree of customisability it seems.
