   It looks like the #Japanese made #ActivityPub platform #Misskey is soon to take over #Mastodon in the number of forks.

   See: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-apps/issues/47

   As an #Asian myself, I'm happy to see that ideas, developers, and software from #Japan are going mainstream. There are a lot of things the West, and the world for that matter, can learn from Japan.

   Not only from the Japanese, to be exact, even from #Korean made software. I talked about last year how #Korea created its own Internet culture that not even #Google and #Microsoft can compete with. (See: #Naver's amazing interconnected platforms; what Google would have been if they had a vision.)

     @youronlyone@c.im I don't think @lain@lain.com (who is the creator and lead dev of #Pleroma) is Asian, he's German.
     
     Though I think I remember reading somewhere that he has an Asian wife. Might be wildly wrong on that though, so take that with a huge grain of asin :koakuma_giggle:

     A bit related to the original post, regarding Japanese-made #fediverse software/platform.

     If I am not mistaken, #Pleroma is also a Fediverse software from #Japan by a #Japanese developer.

     UPDATE (2024-01-07 19:37 UTC+8): I was indeed mistaken. The dev is German, a country from Europe that has given us a lot of new science and technologies. ^_^

     Thank you @-mima@makai.chaotic.ninja for the information!

     Extra:

     Pleroma itself also have a lot of forks, though not as much as #Misskey and #Mastodon. One such is #Rebased.

     You can give the Rebased fork a try over at https://c.wtf featuring the #Soapbox frontend. (#DidYouKnow that the Soapbox frontend originally started as a custom frontend for Mastodon?)
