   @sda I have run mastodon, it was bulky and slow compared to GNUSocial. My instance has been up a couple months, but I used to run gnusocial.me as well. Technical differences:
   
   #GNUSocial has (And Mastodon does not):
   - PHP
   - Plugins, modules, etc (easier to customize)
   - Runs in Apache, Nginx, lighttpd, etc
   - MySQL support
   - Windows Support with IIS and PHP5
   - User polls (Voting system)
   - Groups
   - JSON, ATOM, and RSS feeds for accounts and API
   - True support for SSL/TLS
   - Admin can set text limit. (p2px.me can send out 2000 char. notices (Or toots as they are called on Mastodon))
   
   #Mastodon has (And GNUSocial does not):
   - Content Warning System (Allowing users to hide posts)
   - Privacy Settings (GNUSocial kinda has this, but is way too limited)
   - Runs on Ruby with or without docker (GNUSocial has docker support as well, but that is old)
   - PostgreSQL with Redis Queue (GNUSocial can use redis queue as well like my instance does, but Mastodon uses it by default)
   - Native Statistics page (GNUSocial needs a module installed for this)
   
   I can't think of anything else at the moment. I prefer GNUSocail because it is written in PHP (Which I know and love, unlike ruby)
   
   Let me know if you have any more questions, also fediwiki.info (Ran by me as well) has a great tutorial for installing and maintaining Mastodon AND GNUSocial. Check it out sometime.

     @stitchxd @sda does anyone know if Mastodon is going to add any of these features from GS too? What about GS from Mastodon?

     @stitchxd @sda PS: What about GUIs? the "Tootdere" style seems very good but the web version of the profiles etc needs improvements (like infinite scrolling or being able to select our own background, like happens on Qvitter)
