@dansup gotosocial performs far, far beyond mastodon. It mighn't *scale* as well, but it *performs* much better.
This difference is very important. Mastodon might serve thousands of users well, it is the worst of all options for a selfhosted -one-man- server.
And IMO fediverse software should optimize for small to tiny servers. Mastodon optimizes for big to huge servers.
