@p @matrix @sjw @xeno @orekix @kaikatsu @devilish @igeljaeger @swagchen i mean all i was trying to say in what spawned this hellthread is that pleroma has a really bad reputation that will undermine its success, and already has to a degree, and yâall can say you donât care or whatever but that doesnât change how pleroma and its users and creators are perceived
@matrix @p @sjw @xeno @kaikatsu @orekix @devilish @igeljaeger @swagchen i run+use+develop on both and i think mastodon is slightly better overall rn but pleroma has a lot going for it in that it's easier to get up and running and maintain for people who are familiar with *nixes (people who aren't tend to have an easier time running mastodon, but its not as flexible so it's limiting when you do know what you're doing) but i think the low hardware requirements are oversold bc $3 VPSes and rpi self hosted pleromas are starting to get where the kind of out of control db sizes are becoming a problem
i like mastodon and all but its best one thing isnt the only thing in the room, and pleroma being a bit more open to contribution and easier to contribute to appeals to me, personally. but, i think for the kinds of people i want to and do run an instance for, i have no regrets that the main one is mastodon

I'm on Mastodon, because I didn't know other software existed and I'm too lazy to even attempt migrating. Otherwise I wouldn't touch Mastodon with a ten foot pole. Many of Mastodon's useless or life complicationg features are there to appease the unappeaseble.
