#EvilThought : fork #Mastodon and stick the Pleroma frontend on top of it.

Bonus points if you make it only use the #Tent protocol.

@deadsuperhero Other than the tent thing, there's actually progress in forking and porting Pleroma to Mastodon.

@archaeme I was mostly being a tease, Tent is pretty much at a dead end these days.

It would be interesting, though, to see different frontends get developed for variant systems that fundamentally run the same protocol.

@deadsuperhero
I haven't looked at the source, but ideally the mastodon frontend and backend would be loosely coupled, making it not even necessary to fork it.
Mastodon has a client API, so you should be able to use a web server as a client. Whether that scales is a different question :)
