The administrator of No Agenda Social, Aaronor, announces plans to migrate the instance from Mastodon to Pleroma once a migration tool is available. The move is motivated by technical and political friction within the Mastodon developer community regarding vulnerability reporting and the use of Ruby on Rails. The hosts discuss the broader "Fediverse" and the importance of decentralized social media.
