Can anyone give me a quick pitch of what this is? Another twitter-like but differing from mastadon? Like lemmy and kbin?

Calckey is a Misskey (https://misskey.io/) fork, hence the name. Misskey is an extremely popular fediverse microblogging service from Japan with a lot of functionalities that Mastodon doesn't have (quote toot, emoji react, ...), in fact if you follow any Japanese accounts on Mastodon there is a good chance they are using Misskey instead

Basically Calckey diverged enough from Misskey (and I suspect Kainoa didn't like the name) that they agreed to rebrand. Kind of a big deal tbh

Oh cool. Thank you for filling me in. Maybe I’ll check it out.

It has a lot more features compared to Mastodon - I made the switch and am happy with it so far.

Twitterlike but unlike Mastodon it has quote-tweets, themes, and the ability to add cat ears to your avatar.

I never got into twitter or mastadon so this might not be for me but it’s always good to see variety.

And the best part is they all talk to each other so there's no community splitting.

Unlike with Bluesky, where we can't talk to them.
