I'm surprised to see elixir in the software stack, I know TS is loosely based off of mastodon, which is a rails based project (the project is also it notorious for breaking under heavy user loads, so it's probably for the better they're moving away from it). Honestly it seems like they should have started from Pleroma from the start but I'm sure the team had their reasons.

Yes, that was unfortunately caused by time pressure and limited resources last year. We had both pleroma and mastodon versions in development and made the call to go with the more feature-complete version in October. We've been writing various replacement components with other tools (elixir, go, and sometimes even java...) to handle support functionality. At some point this will be a Ship of Theseus, although we'd like to continue to use contributed open source for parts where it makes sense, and we're going to open source some of the tools we've built as well.

Would definitely recommend Pleroma today, or without the specific internal constraints we had at the time.
