Comments and Reviews
Pleroma is a great alternative to Twitter and Mastodon. It has better administrator tools and runs on less resources than other alternatives. Great for both large and small communities.
Pleroma, like Mastodon and all other similar social networking sites, suffers from an influx of highly manipulative shills and trolls. If you want to use it but don't want to be a victim of a manufactured public outrage, then really watch out who gets into your timeline. I don't see much Pleromic about it, seems more like another Archontic realm to me, for those who get all these fancy Gnostic references.
Twitter-like microblogging software. It has more features than Mastodon and Twitter, like Markdown support, animated custom emoji, unicode emoji "reactions", chats and more!
Bonus - It has actual .png transparency support! Both on posted pictures and avatars!
For people who don't know about fediverse - It's decentralized social network, you can seflhost your own instance or join already existing one - And you will be able to subscribe, reply etc. to any Fediverse (PeerTube, Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, Lemmy...) user. As a bonus, no one can just ban you from fediverse itself - you can be banned on instance you registered on or other instance/user can refuse to let you interact with them using mute and block functions (and you can do the same, of course)
