Today I tried another software for the fediverse: pleroma.

So far the fediverse isn't for me. I don't want to join an existent instance. I don't want to run a large project like Mastodon.

And pleroma looked about right for me. But it's currently only for insiders. (I'm using Linux since the 1990s and have installed different news and mail servers. Maybe my patience isn't what it used to be but I don't have any plans on trying pleroma again soon.)

All the other projects are either in a very early stage or use technology I trust less than C News.
