It's the same me. I had a database snafu which I couldn't fix, so did a reinstall. This time I thought I'd try out Pleroma instead of gnusocial. It uses fewer system resources.

The signs are that this will work just fine, but if for any reason Pleroma doesn't work out I can always restore the gnusocial system from backup. For now stick with bob@soc.freedombone.net

I changed the subdomain based upon past experience. If you try using a different though theoretically compatible (OStatus) system on the same subdomain then things can sometimes mess up.
