Guys, I'm going to recommend not using Pleroma anymore. They are actively removing Soapbox compatibility features out of hatred towards me. It is no longer being developed by the original developers. The project is compromised.

If you'd like an alternative, I'm maintaining a fork at: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-be
This, but there's a lot of prior context: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3701

Start here: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3402

Then there's the revert: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3576

Soapbox is good. It has an actual chance to help the Fediverse win. It's been obvious that we should work together, but from the very start I've been treated like a second-class citizen. Because the goal of Pleroma isn't actually to make the Fediverse win. It's something else. Something that even they don't know.
wow that was something.
Thank you for maintaining an alternative. I have a pleroma installation with Soapbox as the frontend for social.retroedge.tech

I will keep using and recommending the #fediverse, as I do think having your own servers or having an account on someone else's server who you want to associate with is vital to being able to freely express yourself and communicate with others.
You are going to hard fork Pleroma? Why don’t you just fork TruthSocial? Seems like easier and more stable option with more resources behind dev., unless they removed all federation code. Did they remove all federation code?
Truth Social is based on Mastodon, and Mastodon still sucks. Federation is disabled, but don't rule it out.
Cool. Truthsocial seems okay, not great, but better than mastodon. I have checked it out a couple times but is just such a cringe hugbox I have to limit exposure.

In other news, GORF social will be done soon, as in later this week.
