i have never gotten the hate for mastodon. it kicks akko's ass and is way more polished and stable than any *keys while having more features than gotosocial
it's such a perfect balance
and i say this as someone who's extensively used and hosted akkoma, firefish, and vanilla/chuckya mastodon
if you prefer *omas or *keys that's fine, but stop acting like mastodon is the devil coming to kill federation or whatever
@doskel yeah gotosocial is definitely not for people who care about, "features" atm, though its got better they've got some media processing capability now. but honestly *oma seems like cursed software to me because i keep seeing people periodically talking about instances basically collapsing under their own weight which is.. not something i would want to deal with w/ something that was used by someone other than me
@hello *omas are such a disaster. mine just. started ddosing people after i hadn't touched it for a month or two
