@pee_zombie theoretically, could this server be moved from Mastodon to Pleroma without interruption? I have no opinion about whether this would be worthwhile, but a couple people in the groupchat where the big wave of new members came from were complaining about Mastodon.
@Connor theoretically yes, but it would be difficult and I have no plans to do so. another server actually attempted the same thing yesterday (frennet.link) but failed to do so
what sort of complaints do you hear about Mastodon? would love to know more about this
@pee_zombie it was mostly @jdp complaining. A couple of others were worried that the Mastodon developers may change the license of future versions to ban its use by people with bad politics and require others to maintain a separate fork.
@pee_zombie @jdp clarification: JDP was not complaining about licensing himself but just saying that Pleroma (which he likes better on other grounds) would be a solution for people who were worried about license issues
@jdp @Connor considering the main dev's previous statements, the nature of the existing license and open source software, and perils of premature anxiety I remain pretty comfortable with Masto :)
I have been seeing a rise of Pleroma hosting providers, however, lowering the barrier to entry! i think this is a very good thing tbh, the more instances the merrier
