     @NettoHikari @shandrew cant really recommend rebased tho, cause of the backstory on how the fork started and what its goals are... but i guess those are my personal preferences

     Exactly! I hosted my Mastodon instance for around a year and I recently switched to Rebased (Pleroma Fork) and it’s far less maintenance, it’s faster, lighter on resources and I light the feature set offered by the Soapbox frontend a lot.

     @Jain@blob.cat @NettoHikari@social.nettohikari.com @shandrew@hachyderm.io Soapbox is great, however only few left-leaning instances use it, and most of them are anarchist owned.

     @NettoHikari @shandrew @zakiuem oh i agree, dont juding you for that...
     but since this is a technical discussion let me share some thoughts... as far as i can remember the goal is to create something twitter like and tbh thats just not something i do like. For example, i think the goal is among other things to also get rid of the whole network timeline, and i actually like having this one. Beside of that, i do prefer having simple interfaces with a rich feature set and having akkoma myself enables features which are known from misskey without the need to operate misskey itself :blobcatmelt:

     I know that. I used Mastodon and it was fine. It had too many moving parts for my taste.

     So I looked at Pleroma, which I knew. I searched for it on Forums, on Reddit, etc. and somebody said to look at Akkoma and Rebased, too.

     So, I did. I compared the two, liked both, didn’t check any background stories on the backends, etc. I just want to use the software. That’s all. And so far, I like it.

     While I do appreciate a simple interface like the default Pleroma FE, I do actually like Soapbox. It’s a matter of preference and really no reason to judge, right? I’m not right-winged. I do have controversal opinions, but that’s what a healthy mind should have. I vote left, I worked for the census in my country and I also work as an election helper. So yeah. I just didn’t know the background of Rebased and I really don’t want to switch software again because of some weird beef in the open source commuity.

     @Jain@blob.cat @shandrew@hachyderm.io @NettoHikari@social.nettohikari.com Friendica, Pixelfed, Lemmy and Hubzilla are different from Akkoma, Mastodon and Misskey.

     That makes total sense to me. Maybe I’ll give Pleroma FE a shot in the future. I just wanted to have something more modern looking for myself and - mainly - for my wife to also comfortably use the Fediverse.

     Not saying I don’t understand you. I’ve been to BSPWM, DWM heaven and back. I appreciated the simple, I appreciated the “bloated”.

     But to me, Mastodon is bloat. And Pleroma and forks are not bloat.
