@bender@twtxt.net I have nothing against GoToSocial, but:
GoToSocial stores statuses, accounts, etc, in a database. This can be either SQLite or Postgres.
snac
is simpler. Some JSON files and that’s it. I can read them with jq
and less
. I can use tar
to back them up. I can hand edit them in a text editor.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I understand, yes. JSON files are easier to manipulate with readily available tools. When I used GTS (not anymore, I run Mastodon because I didn’t want to have to wait for client APIs to catch up), I had it with SQLite configured. It was only one file, and I could manipulate it nicely with a bit of SQL knowledge.
