> this is an incorrect statement in several ways.

Here are facts:

http://demo.fedilist.com/source-code : Wordpress, Pleroma, Misskey, Akkoma, Sharkey, then Soapbox, way down the list, and in most cases (Spinster, Poast, Gleasonator, Nice Crew Dot Wherever, etc., and all the btrf.ly instances), it's Gleason himself, or people that Gleason helped get set up.

It is the same backend. The changes are not substantial; FSE could be said to have a different backend if Soapbox has one. It's not like the difference between Pleroma and Honk or GTS or Mastodon or Peertube.

If I have missed any facts, they are possibly worth knowing. If the disagreement is about how I have characterized the facts, that's probably not going to be useful as we're not going to agree and it's a tangent: it's a footnote to a larger point that YOLDing The Fedi is not desirable nor helpful in accomplishing a goal that is misguided to begin with.
