Hosting a single service for the whole fediverse (slrpnk.net)

Hey folks, I have several accounts across the fediverse (Lemmy, pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm), and I think it would be neat to have a single identity across all these platforms.

I'm an amateur self hoster, and was looking into Rebased, a fork of Pleroma. If I were to create a single user instance on rebased, what would I be missing over these accounts on all these services? Could I still use the different apps? (Blorp, Pachli, Rocinante). Would I be missing features?

Oh man, I was going to use rebased since I heard the pleroma folks sucked. Guess I need to do more research.

    What exactly is it that you heard about the Pleroma devs? As far as I've seen the only people who seem to have something against them always vague post and never specify what is it that bothers them.

    They are right-wing "free speech" / 4chan chuds, that tollerated until very recently an even worse dev that is trolling a lot as a TERF, currently works for Truth Social (Trump's MAGA cesspit) and also made the Rebased fork after being finally kicked out.

    The codebase is also a mess full of half-baked ideas. A few years ago the more reasonable people forked off Pleroma into Akkoma and spend significant time cleaning up the codebase.

    I'm probably just parroting vague vibes like you say. The first time I heard of pleroma was in the context of Lemmy.world defederating from a ton of pleroma instances that were far right, or otherwise undesirable. But that's more the users and not the software itself.

    @srasmus @Aeder Figured I'd chime in as I've been on the #Fediverse for as long as #Gab joined it (as it was, interestingly enough, the first #Fediverse instance I've ever been on!).

    The #Pleroma userbase is the most diverse that you'll find on the #Fediverse. You've got crazy alt right folks, gooners, pedophiles, left wingers (usually left wing #Pleroma users will be #trans who just want to self host or be on a super small instance) and more. /1

    If you mean "people that use Pleroma", it's not the end of the world. You just need to block or avoid people that flock to a given instance, or do that for the instances themselves.

    If you mean the devs, maybe keep an archived fork of the software being used, and use that if they start causing problems that damage the quality of the software, and move to that build while you refactor your instance.

    Also I don't think I've seen Pleroma devs in the wild before, and users I also don't generally see, so going by the premise of what you said, @srasmus@slrpnk.net.

    And the fediverse can be quite diverse, and so long as the software licenses are respected, there's not much devs or external instances can interfere legitimately.
