Using Pleroma will make lots of homeservers block you because the main developers and some major users of the platform are right wing (like KiwiFarms) so lots of Mastodon homeservers consider it to be Nazi software and will block you outright just for using it
This is incidentally why I'm not developing an Activity Pub homeserver myself -- I have no interest in having users doxx my politics simply because I'm interested in social networking protocols.
Personally, my hobby is no longer computers, and it definitely isn't FOSS -- I'm not trying to be the next guy blackballed from the industry for having the wrong thought about the current thing. That's also why I have a throwaway account here. Political activists working inside the tech sphere are savage and have no mercy, and I wish to have nothing to do with them. For me that mostly means: no ActivityPub, no Twitter.
