Neat. As I am in the process of fully migrating to wayland, it is good. I only work as a teacher, so I don't really concern about licensing, lol.

Arch Linux. Many people said it is unstable and hard to setup. It turns out very stable as long as I update it frequently and AUR makes installing software easier. Even easier than ppa-based ubuntu as it will destroy your dependency if you are not careful. Lol.

Akkoma. It uses a bit higher ram and resource than GtS but it is packed with features.

It is nice and small server that do the basic well. I once use it on my poor $5 vps while being stuffed together with several of my PHP/MySQL apps. It has small footprint, several of my friends still use it on half-gigs ram vps.
But its lack of features sucks tho, there are no working filters, no disable re-toot per users setting (like on akkoma), and also there are no relay support so my timeline looks bare.
I migrate from GtS for now, but if above features are implemented in near future, may be I'll migrate back to GtS.

I haven't used facebook for years, but I do use twitter a lot to check whats happening in my area. Same for instagram, but I am not using thread at all.

Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:

  • Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
  • Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
  • Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.

I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.
