Same week as I get hired back on Mastodon everyone moves to #pleroma 
Coincidence? I think not! 
CONSPIRACY! MOST DEFINITELY! 
@maloki I'm not moving. No point, really.
If I was running my _own_ server I might consider it.
@zigg it wasn't a subtoot as such. I'm just excited that we have a real competitor. More reason to be better!

@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?
@maloki
Because we seized the means of communication. And also, because no one is selling anything 😉

@ciaby I mean people are always selling something. There's always a cost, and a transaction.
@maloki if you think in terms of market economy, yes. I hoped that we were not doing that here :)
@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."
