@maloki I doubt its true. :p People just want to work with different software that's more resource friendly (can run off 512MB ram!)

And some people are just sick of people whining about the bad people there so they decided to fix it x)

@esp jokes have no truth!

@maloki pleroma is no different protocol, it's activitypub just like mastodon. You probably meant servers not protocols :)

@href software / protocol. It doesn't matter too much.

@Gargron shut up.

@maloki @Gargron I so want to boost that toot.

@HerraBRE go nuts 🤪

@Gargron

@HerraBRE @maloki @Gargron Yeah, I kinda want to because it's funny, but kinda don't because I don't support the nonsense about other fediverse members.

@Gargron @maloki wow.

@gucci_mage ignore him. I told him to shut up.

@maloki will do!

@Gargron @maloki

"Ask your doctor if Pleroma is right for you."

@Gargron @maloki In this moment I am euphoric

@zigg it wasn't a subtoot as such. I'm just excited that we have a real competitor. More reason to be better!

@maloki @zigg I think Mastodon has a thought leadership position here that shouldn't be undervalued.

Pleroma may be more efficient, but if I install it (and I might because I dislike ruby), I'd be doing so because I can keep using the Mastodon front-end and the Mastodon API.

If Pleroma is a better Mastodon back-end than Mastodon for some users ... odds are good a lot of them will still be using "Mastodon."

@HerraBRE joke post, no serious discussion allowed.

@zigg

@maloki @zigg Sorry!

So, when are you going to start PMing for Pleroma then?

@HerraBRE @maloki @zigg It's not entirely a bad thing if one project works well for large instances, and another caters better to small instances.

@ocdtrekkie HOW DARE YOU NOT SUBTOOT ME?!

@HerraBRE @zigg

@ciaby why wouldn't decentralized social networking be a free market? Is it because they have to use the same means of communicating with each other?

@ciaby I mean people are always selling something. There's always a cost, and a transaction.

@ciaby @maloki Just you wait. Soon there'll be spam for "CH34P PL3R0MA FROM C4N4D1AN PH4RMAZY!!!!!!1!!!"

@Sylvhem check my pinned toots.
