* '''[[Special:MyLanguage/What is Redmatrix?|Redmatrix]] 2020''' was the same as Osada, but with ActivityPub off by default while it was on by default on Osada and Zap. It is not clear whether it came to exist by abandoning the old Red Matrix from 2012 and using the name for an Osada fork or by merging Osada code into the old Red Matrix. | * '''[[Special:MyLanguage/What is Redmatrix?|Redmatrix]] 2020''' was the same as Osada, but with ActivityPub off by default while it was on by default on Osada and Zap.

'''Mistpark 2020''', also known as '''Misty''', was intended as a testing version between rock-solid Zap and bleeding-edge Osada. This way, new features and improvements could be rolled out to daily-driver instances and tested by a larger audience with a much reduced risk of things breaking. Its target audience was admins and users for whom Zap was too conservative. | ||
So in theory, Zap was the one with stability guaranteed, Misty was the fresher but still quite stable one, Osada was the experimental one with ActivityPub on, and Redmatrix 2020 was the experimental one with ActivityPub off. It's said that everything but Zap actually ended up using the same code, differing only in branding and default admin settings. Even that code was still so close to Zap that cross-grading back and forth between all four by rebasing the server code was possible. | So in theory, Zap was the one with stability guaranteed, Misty was the fresher but still quite stable one, Osada was the experimental one with ActivityPub on, and Redmatrix 2020 was the experimental one with ActivityPub off.
