Have you seen the Pleroma? It's like mastadon but written in elixir so it's really snappy. It's made by a group of friends : Lain, the rabbit, mama rinpatch, and hj. I really like it. It looks more like classic Twitter and it's able to run on a rasperry pi. It even includes a mastadon front end, called Glitch. https://pleroma.social/ https://pleroma.social/

Do you happen to know any of their contact info? I've tried many times to find an email for them on their website to no avail, maybe I'm blind.

Looks they also released a huge update recently too https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/releases https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/releases Neat

What about Elixir makes things "snappy"?

  maybe it's just the way they're written or the frameworks they use, I just assume it's the language -- but Pleroma consumes fewer resources than Mastodon or Gab

Just for the record, it's MastOdon, not MastAdon :) It seems to be a common mistake.

It started out with a "we want to be just indie enough to not attract mainstream attention" (but as I've heard they switched to wanting to be for everyone now).

They keep up with upstream code and it hasn't been rare to see glitch features merged into the core version. What you're speaking of is Mastofe, the frontend code. Pleroma uses the one modified by Glitch. https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/mastofe https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/mastofe
