As I have already mentioned, Mastodon isn't the only software that is part of #Fediverse. By now the co-creator of Mastodon, @Gargron has already become popular among Indians who came here from TwitterNow, I would like to introduce @kaniini to new comers from #India. She is the co-creator of another lightweight software that we use in connect.fshm.in and fsmi.social called #PleromaLet's put together our toots (or) posts for her as well.#India #Pleroma #Fediverse

@me @Snehal_rasal @Gargron @kaniini the programming languages they are written are different. Mastodon is written using a framework called Ruby On Rails, while Pleroma is written using a framework called Phoenix (a Elixir language based framework). That's the difference on the backend. The choice of Elixir is also why Pleroma is light weight and is able to run on even small computers.Other difference are to the level at which the underlying ActivityPub protocol implementation, web interface differences, etc.,Sorry, I had to use too many jargons here if you are from non-tech background.

@prashere @Snehal_rasal @Gargron @kaniini So basically it is light weight and faster ? Any difference in features compared to mastodon, Diaspora etc ?

@me @prashere @Gargron @Snehal_rasal there are quite a few differences in features, but both are generally quite compatible. we work together to ensure compatibility remains good.Pleroma allows the administrator to configure basically all behaviour of the instance, from character count limits to when and where the instance federates.Mastodon has less configurability.if you use Linux, a good comparison is that Pleroma is KDE and Mastodon is GNOME.

@dielan @Gargron @kaniini @me @prashere E17 is so bloated though; Enlightenment's never ran under 30mb (unlike Honk).

@kaniini @prashere @me @Gargron @Snehal_rasal So, can I migrate this account to Pleroma with all my data? Including followers?

@wabbster @prashere @me @Gargron @Snehal_rasal unfortunately, right now, lossless data migration is not really possible in fediverse software, but we are making progress on introducing that.Pleroma 2.0 will support the Mastodon Move activities, for example.my ultimate desire is to see accounts be stored as something known as a datashard which will allow transparent migration of all data including followers, but we're a bit of a ways off from having that. datashards is an interesting technology though, you should read about it at datashards.net

@kaniini @prashere @me @Gargron @Snehal_rasal Awesome. Thanks for the explainer. So this fediverse is a lot like IRC but with different servers like DALnet or Undernet. That's the best analogy I could think of.

@wabbster @prashere @me @Gargron @Snehal_rasal yes, precisely! In an IRC analogy, GNU Social would be UnrealIRCd, Mastodon would be InspIRCd and Pleroma would be Charybdis.

@wabbster @Snehal_rasal @Gargron @me @kaniini Like most of you. I too started with mastodon.social when it was launched and then eventually moved to our own server here running pleroma.I was able to export and import the people whom I follow from mastodon to pleroma and have to leave the account in mastodon inactive with one pinned post stating that I moved to this new address for future visitors.

@prashere @Gargron @wabbster @Snehal_rasal @kaniini So I guess as an admin, Pleroma would use less resources..Any advantages for the user ? Or is there any other security reason etc that you chose it over mastodon ?

@me @prashere @wabbster @Gargron @Snehal_rasal Pleroma is more security-oriented than Mastodon. A lot of the work we are doing in Pleroma is basically security-related and it streams out to other implementations like Mastodon.

@prashere @kaniini AFAIK @lain created Pleroma and kaniini helped later, but I didn't follow closely.Both deserve credits for their work anyway.

@LienRag @prashere @kaniini true, I started the project and was pretty much the only one working on it for a year, but these days it's a pretty healthy team effort.

@me @Gargron @Snehal_rasal @prashere @wabbster to clarify by what I mean here: a lot of projects in Pleroma are research into new ways to secure the fediverse. Mastodon itself has pretty good security and shouldn't be construed as insecure. In cases where there have been security issues in Mastodon, Gargron has always provided a fast response.
