@skyfaller@jawns.club @john@sauropods.win Well, regardless of how people feel about Gleason, they can't deny that Soapbox is an excellent piece of software. (if a bit too tw*tt*r-like)

@skyfaller @john I really wanted to like Pleroma, but its just too dang buggy (even Akkoma) and the interface is just all over the place. I definitely favor Mastodon, Misskey, and Soapbox.

@piccolbo@hachyderm.io @skyfaller@jawns.club @john@sauropods.win Yes. It just using many dependences. However, compared to Tw*tt*r, Mastodon is far more lightweight. I really notice a difference when I'm using Mastodon on a phone. Tw*tt*r sucks up data like vacuum cleaner.

@piccolbo@hachyderm.io @skyfaller@jawns.club @john@sauropods.win Also, if I have to check something on the birdsite. I use one of the nitter instances.

@piccolbo @skyfaller @john You can use Pleroma if you want. I'm just saying that I've had many different problems with it.

@robbyoconnor @piccolbo @skyfaller @john I'll put it this way, be thankful that there is alternatives to twitter and that they can all talk to each other using a common and open protocol. (ActivityPub) I'd really hate to live in a world without alternatives.

@pwm @skyfaller @john @piccolbo @dave You're aware that the reason Akkoma was developed was because Pleroma was starting to get as bloated as Mastodon right? Although Mastodon is not nearly as bloated as Tw*tt*r. (Trackers! Trackers everywhere!) Good grief! I'm starting to sound like a paranoid nutcase.

@piccolbo @skyfaller @john Mastodon doesn't use any trackers. There are virtually none on the fediverse. I was directing that at Tw*tt*r, and being slightly comedic about. You've nothing to worry about with trackers on the fediverse. 😎

@balrog_booger@kabuki.club @skyfaller@jawns.club @john@sauropods.win What's funny about Soapbox is that it can honestly confuse people as to whether or not they're looking at another version of tw*tt*r. It literally looks like a 1 to 1 clone, even on how it acts sometimes. 😅
