@dansup I would take a php project over Ruby (on Rails) every day. Neither language or framework is perfect, no system is, but I do personally prefer the trade offs that php has over many alternatives.
People going after php likely haven’t used it, or think it’s still php5 days. Haters going to hate. I much prefer trade off discussion instead

Been running a test pixelfed instance for a while to get familiar before doing a public open registration one, and it’s been a great experience so far 💪
