@a7 @judgedread @oneway @terryenglish Pleroma instances look different from one-another because the end user and the admin both have control over the theme. each user can have a completely different looking theme and nobody is doing anything out of the ordinary. There's a reason why pleroma instances have so many themes, because pleroma is made to bend over backwards for the user.

Mastodon instances mostly look the same, same color, same frontpage but all that changes is the admin, maybe a picture in the corner and who's blocked / not blocked

@Julia @Jdogg247 @judgedread @oneway I like a lot of the people I met on Gab though. A few annoying faggots is the price of freedom.

@Jdogg247 @Julia @ArdanianRight @oneway I do like your talking point that Gab was never big because if it had been big we wouldn't all know each other.

@Jessica @judgedread @oneway @terryenglish ya i have barely used mastodon, first encounter with this protocol and stuff was gnusocial like years back, then i heard about mastodon, got annoyed that people werent mentioning gnusocial, was never involved in these sorta systems, then i was shilling some shit so i made a pleroma account, then a gab account then a twitter account, never had a twitter until last year

@a7 @judgedread @oneway @terryenglish Pain in the ass but mastodon's theming is bare minimum at best. I shouldn't have to do custom CSS or w/e just to change a color

@oneway @Jessica It's never difficult to get Torba to do something stupid.

@judgedread @oneway @terryenglish I feel like mastodon is trying too hard to copy twitter. I feel that pleroma has a completely different feel to it and it tends to be the better interface imo

also mastodon Isn't traditional fediverse. they changed a bunch of shit from the spec prob to fuck with people on other instances for no conceivable reason

@oneway @Julia @Jessica @terryenglish Ekrem's custom software could handle double the traffic Gab gets now without giving constant server errors.

Massive own goal switching to Gabstodon.

@terryenglish @oneway @judgedread Yeah pleroma has a much more chillaxed interface and it's much easily more customized. Unlike mastodon where the only way is to use a browser plugin like stylus, but on here all i have to do is import the theme file on any instance, and i can export on any instance

@Jessica @oneway @terryenglish Gargron is a complete piece of shit, but I respect him more than Torba. At least he takes his vile stand and sticks with it.

@judgedread @oneway @terryenglish I don't like mastodon because the devs are sjw echo chamber fucktards

@judgedread @oneway @terryenglish I'm on pleroma too

@mazuba @oneway @terryenglish Between the sites that block Gab and the sites Gab shadowbans - yes.

@oneway @terryenglish @judgedread I know because gab is actually pretty dead. I wouldn't get nearly as much followers on there. It was a struggle to get 10 followers on there, but i joined this instance and got like 50 in a single day.

Gab's blocking is just like what SJW's do, they're essentially being hypocrites

@Jessica @oneway @terryenglish Can confirm. Mastodon's post then comment model is closer to old Gab than Pleroma's self contained post model - at least that's what it looks like in my limited browsing of Mastodon instances. I'm on Pleroma here.

@Jessica @oneway @terryenglish Torba is a boring normal not very smart guy. This can't be repeated often enough. He not only had no idea what free speech online implied, he never spent that much time online, being a scheming grifter at heart. He would be much better off fully federating and taking advantage of the trolling opportunities triggering unsuspecting users of new instances. Endless controversy, but without any collateral damage.

@GlitchesUnleashed @terryenglish
but we glitch and I can be friends again

@judgedread @oneway @terryenglish IF THEY WEREN'T PUSSIES they would federate. fuc'n cowards

@terryenglish @Jojothegoodperson Gay.

@judgedread @oneway @terryenglish I bet you they went to the mastodon interface just because they could get away with doing less to update the interface
