These days I searched and try to understand more about Mastodon alternatives, and see Pleroma and Misskey (and his forks) are more lightweight than Mastodon, and saw some people says Mastodon has some security vulnerabilities.

However, I have encountered some difficulties in understanding some things. Some instances block other instances. Some says you can only speak in English. Others seem private and I don’t understand if I can see content from other platforms. Etc, etc…I know are differents instances rules and fully respect that, but on other point of view, dont understand very well which I can choose to see all content from all platforms.

Now, I would like to use one of these platforms to watch content and be able to speak in English, as well as speaking in my mother tongue. But I have always backed away because it has been difficult to understand some things.

Basically, I would like to know which is the best platform to interact with, one that has the minimum privacy and security rules, where I can see other instances of other platforms (be it Mastodon, Pleroma, etc., etc.), and where I can speak in my mother tongue. At this point, I’m little confused, to be honest.

My favorite content is sport, music and technology, but I’m also afraid of entering an instance that isn’t suited to this.

If you can help me, I would appreciate it.

    We are on the same boat. We need to find the right platform and the right instance, and as a newbie on the fediverse planet as Im, I will need more deep searches. This is a punch on the head, but I guess this is a process to choose wisely and understand full completely the microblogging ecosystem.

    You dont need to apologizie. No problem mate.

      will need more deep searches.

      To be fair, it doesn’t take that much to create an account on one instance and then see if it works for you. I must have more than ten alts on several platforms
