The real reason why fmhy chose Calckey instead of Mastodon is very obviously the hot furry mascot.
Of course that's not true, trust me guys!!!
Edit: also that's a bird lmao
I don't care what it is, it looks very fuckable.

Just spit out my tea all over today's todo list. Thanks, I needed that laugh.
Meh, different strokes for... Ah, hell, that wasn't quite the similie I wanted given the context...
Furry is a bit of a misnomer, anthropomorphic animals of any kind are furry. There’s sub-labels for different types though like ‘scalie’ for reptiles. I’ve taken to calling birds ‘avians’ because ‘featheries’ doesn’t flow as well
There is also something in settings called “Are you a cat?.
It adds cats ears on the profile pic and converts avery 'na' in your posts to 'nya'. I think it's a generic feature on Misskey forks (or at least it's also on Foundkey).
Arguably, if that were the motivation, they could just as easily have landed on MissKey. That one is, to MK's credit, human :)
MK also seems to have originated in Japan, so the mascot at https://misskey-hub.net/en/ is not at all unexpected.
Edit: And pretty damn tame as these things go lol
I looked at misskey but calckey was more appealing so went for it.
I used misskey for like a year before switching to calckey and can't recommend it enough. Misskey has a lot of questionable choices (like you still can't click on notes to open them like every other software, or the sub-par mobile interface) and it's also the only *key that doesn't support note editing despite everything else supporting it. All in all calckey provides a much better experience.
