Pleroma is the essential software for the Fediverse, but it seems like most heavily-used Pleroma servers have a lifespan of, on average, a year or two. After this, it starts having problems, that seem to come from its data model.

I'm tired of seeing instances run by my peers (housing some of the greatest and coolest and friendliest communities I know, like Inidiefedi, or Udongein, or Expired Mentality) just die out of nowhere, out of the blue, out of thin air.

We NEED to fix Pleroma, somehow, or develop an alternative that has 1:1 feature parity, but the data storage scheme of which isn't a ticking time bomb. I can't stress this enough, Pleroma is an absolutely critical piece of software to the Fedi.
