   Now that I have used Mitra for a bit, I think I can comment on it a bit

   WOT I LIKE:
   >stupidly lightweight, barely uses RAM/CPU resources, see pics related from boot and longer uptime
   >greentext by default
   >restarting is quick
   >default UI is nice, no bullshit and loads quickly, hovering over emojis zooms in on them
   >mitractl is a really nice CLI tool
   >install + maintenance is piss easy, especially on Debian courtesy of the .deb packages
   >dev isn't retarded, is in fact pleasant, polite and responds very quickly to inquiries (see: doing a quick release to add deleting accounts in the web UI when @splitshockvirus brought it up)

   WOT I DON'T LIKE:
   >no emoji reacts, even husky seems to filter out notifications for them
   >no emoji autocomplete
   >replies in threads kind of janky (I know dev is working on it)
   >federation seems kinda janky, making the relay account for it is a cool solution but I don't know how to follow dedicated relays on it (e.g. https://relay.fedi.agency/actor)
   >also find that federation is slow but I can't really quantify it in any useful way
   >no quote posts (not terribly salted peanuts about this but mite be cool to see)
   >no markdown options for posts
   >kinda wish there was a web UI for administrative stuff
   >wish default UI was more customizable (e.g. like how you can change the background, logos, front-page, etc. on Pleromer) I could be full of shit assuming you could just muck with the assets directly for results

   Overall I really like it and if emoji reacts + autocomplete were implemented along with the replies I'd definitely make this my main instance software. Looking forward to seeing where this goes
