Knowing the Pleroma exploit out now, what software stack should I use for a new fedi instance when I launch the multi user instance?
100% serious btw

Pros/cons of each:
Pleroma:
Pros; runs on shitbox and weird OSes, I like the UI, less jank than Mastodong still
Cons; development drama, the latest exploit and similar, DBs are assfucked with Pleroma.

Misskey:
Pros; anime
Cons; CPU hog, node.js, might remove reacts

Mastodon:
Pros; less likely to get blocked by schizoids at first
Cons; bloat, broken search, developed for mentally ill bubble wrapped schizos who will go back to Twitter to mope about not passing again.

@PhenomX6 Have you looked into any of the Mastodon forks. GameLiberty runs on a Masto fork maintained by @matrix. I think Qoto's fork has things like BBCode. Librem.social runs on a fork, but I think they removed DMs, which given the current situation, isn't that much of a loss.
