I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release.

Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them.

That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier...

Mastodon: the SAP of the fediverse? 😇

A heartfelt NO.
Mastodon is maybe the Ubuntu of the fediverse…

When I see littleFedi and compare it, then I definitely don't compare it with Ubuntu. They made things easier. Mastodon is complex compared to LF 😉
