Pleromaはマイクロブログプラットフォームであり、フェディバースにおけるTwitterの置き換えの一つです。

Pleromaはどんな感じですか?

PleromaはTwitterとマストドンによく似ています。
短いメッセージを書くことができ、画像、動画、音声、それらのメディアの説明文、CW (content warning)、投票を付けることができます。
フェディバースにいる他の人々に、あなたの投稿を @ することができます。また、プライベートメッセージを送ることができます。
ハッシュタグを使って投稿を見つけることができます。

What are some advantages over Twitter?

With Pleroma you can post longer posts - usually 5,000 characters, though some instances have even larger character limits.
There is no algorithm deciding what you get to see and what not, but the feed is chronological and based on who you follow and what the people you follow boost.
On Twitter & Co the algorithm doesn't necessarily show you what you want to see, but amplifies hate and controversy, to keep you watching ads as long as possible.
If you have a lot of followers on Twitter expect to have a narrower reach on Pleroma, but the people who follow you are usually more happy to interact with you in a meaningful way.

What are some advantages over Mastodon?

Some numeral limitations are loose than Mastodon:

  • Character limit = 5,000 (500 in Mastodon)
  • Poll options = 20 (4 in Mastodon)
  • Profile fields = 10 (4 in Mastodon)
  • Max number of pinned posts = 1 (5 in Mastodon)

These limits can be changed by admin. Some instances using different thresholds.

If you want to own an instance as an admin, using Pleroma is good idea. Pleroma is easy to setup and requires smaller computing resources than Mastodon.

With all the advantages, like Twitter, Pleroma still has some limitations.

  • You can't follow hashtags.
  • You can't edit your posts.
