@arcanicanis @Pawlicker It seems GNU social does not work PHPv8. PHP v7.4 works well.

GS use patched PEAR (extlib).

This is related issue (this is main repository).

I think it may solve this issue by appending following code on head of lib/util/framework.php.

// Avoid conflicting with standard PEAR.
set_include_path(__DIR__ .  PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

I will try it on this weekend. Please wait. If you want to fix soon, I recommend use PHPv7.4.
