A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.
In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:
Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.
GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.
Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.
Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.
Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.
In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a developer working on a new site for a mutual client. The message was: "I uploaded the new WordPress and plugins to your hosting (dedicated FreeBSD jail with PHP 8.3, MySQL, etc.), but there seem to be issues. The site is behaving strangely - possibly due to an incompatible plugin. Could you install PHP 7.4 for full compatibility, or consider moving the current development server to production?"
The "development server" is a small VPS with Docker on their infrastructure, where they set everything up without much oversight from me.
I pointed out that installing PHP 7.4 in 2024 is not advisable, as it has been unsupported (including security updates) for quite some time. I suggested upgrading to PHP 8.2, or 8.1 for temporary testing.
They proposed creating a production server based on Docker so they could "manage versions and dependencies independently." I was open to this idea but rejected the notion of putting such an outdated setup into production in 2024.
The client called, frustrated because "I refused to install what they asked." I explained that what they were asking was risky and outdated, and that a plugin requiring PHP 7.4 was clearly obsolete and would cause problems quickly.
Then, everyone disappeared. This morning, the client called in a panic: "Our server's been hacked! Do something!"
Upon investigation, I found that:
- They had gone live with their development server without informing me.
- They had been hacked through a plugin and malicious software was installed for phishing and other purposes, consuming bandwidth and CPU.
- All antivirus/antispam systems flagged the site as malicious.
I explained to the client that the server itself wasn't hacked (especially not mine), but rather the "site" was compromised - a different issue altogether. I advised them to restore the DNS settings and bring the previous site back online.
Their site is a simple institutional one, which is updated every 2-3 years by the developer. It doesn't need dynamic CMS features. The previous site was static, created with Simply Static, and remained online and problem-free for years.
Unfortunately, this is a common trend today. Some developers deploy outdated, vulnerable systems and then blame others when the site is compromised.

Es que de hecho ocurre que es una balanza presupuestaria muy clara: si el estado se endeuda, las familias no lo hacen; si el estado no se endeuda, lo tienen que hacer las familias. Vivimos en un sistema económico impulsado por el crédito, lo queramos o no; y la relación entre los estados y las familias en cuanto a la deuda es casi de vaso comunicante.
tenemos que dejar de decir lo de noseque no, lo siguienteEsto es casi más rancio que lo de la cerveza sin plomo.
