Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform
Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net
#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.
Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.
What lang/stack isn’t represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?

I’m not familiar enough (or at all) with C#, but AFAICT, it could make an instance more stable, as firefish and misskey have struggled with handling a decent amount of users and C# could be a faster system for the server.
Also, a re-write sometimes is a good thing. And, developers have different preferences for languages, so having a C# project around enables C# devs to more easily contribute to the fedi.
