@drq I started self hosting pleroma before I'd heard this particular stigma, because I'm getting into elixir and was seeing how it was to run an elixir app and also because it's only two things to run (the app and the database) and not what seems like a wild amount of software to self host.

once I had heard of the stigma, there was a little while I was considering figuring out mastodon to avoid it because of it. But ultimately it seemed entirely backwards to stop using easy to run software because it's somehow associated with nazis 🙃
