Someday, mst3k will run on Pleroma if things do not change in Mastodon.
We can't achieve our mission at the Interlinked Foundation with Mastodon. We don't have the resources to run Mastodon instances for other people when we can barely run our own. That's one thing we want to do. And with mst3k taking up so much room, we barely have enough space to run our /back office/ stuff that keeps the organisation together.
We can run 5 Pleroma instances in the space of /one/ Mastodon instance. We can run /40/ if you count the resources to run ElasticSearch properly (sure, you can ghetto rig it, and abuse systemd to restart it when it crashes, but that's stupid and you're a terrible sysadmin if you do this who should stay as far away from any machines I'm responsible for as possible). We can't run ES at mst3k because it would break the bank.
And frankly, we have to (and will continue to) say no to users who want to run Mastodon, because it'll take up too much space. That's just realpolitik. It isn't so much a desire as it is "small non-profit whom 75% of the budget is already in hosting." You know what hosting costs are? Administrative overhead. You know what that means? It's money that's not going towards our mission. It's being dumped into more memory and CPU.

Oh you know what else I can do? I can make 5,000 character posts. Not 500, 5,000. Sure, that makes it more of a "blogging service" than "microblogging" service, but you know what, I don't care.
And you know what I'm gonna do? Make a long post, because I fucken /can/.
Sure, people might not like this long post, but you know what, maybe Gargron should collapse long posts by default like users have asked for. But of course, "what is input validation" even? What is "listening to your users" even?
Now onto my point:
Without users, your vision doesn't mean shit. Your ideas are nothing more than just that: ideas. As Pleroma improves, Mastodon will be left behind in the dust, simply because Gargron refused to listen to his users and their ideas, with his self-admitted bias against ideas he didn't come up with. Simple things, like it's too resource-hungry, it's too slow, nothing is configurable, etc. Gargron decides everything with Mastodon. Not so with Pleroma. The Pleroma using community decides.
When the community decides what goes into Pleroma, both the community /and/ Pleroma win. When Gargron decides what goes into Mastodon, only Gargron wins.
Just think about that.
As more and more people try out Pleroma, more and more people are going to work on it. It's only going to get better. Mastodon will stagnate as soon as Gargron runs out of ideas, because he doesn't really want to listen to others. It's "his" social media. He only cares about taking on Twitter on his terms. It's an ego trip for him, plain and simple. You are as much of a product as you were for Twitter, except you serve the ego of a man instead of a company's bottom line.

Gargon personally added the controversial server level blacklisting to mastodon after @nepfag called someone on mastodon.social a "nigger" while posting images of lolicon hentai #mastodonfacts
-
Mastodon uses on average a minimum of 2GB of resident memory on a semi small instance. #mastodonfacts
(pleroma runs on my RPI 1 model b)
-
Mastodon is built atop GNU social's ostatus, a protocol suite that is over 10 years old, who's reference implementation is in PHP.
