I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I prefer Plume.

I’m leaning somewhat towards plume, just because I can find some nice instances for it. What are your reasons behind preferring it?
These are my reasons:
- Write.as is written in Go, while Plume is written in Rust and WASM. It may seem irrelevant, but Go has worse performance than Rust (among other things, because of the use of the garbage collector in Go).
- All Plume functions are free of charge. In the case of Write.as, the basic functions are free, but if you want to customize it to your liking, you have to pay $6 per month, which is not much, but it is something to consider.
- Write.as has a hermetic development in my opinion, even if it is open source. Plume is open source, hosted on Gitea (a good thing for those who hate Microsoft and GitHub), and they have a room on Matrix/Element.io to talk to the developers directly.
- Plume has been translated into more languages than Write.as
Nice! I made a plume account a couple days ago. I'll probably host my own blog, but also post entries on Plume so that people can follow it on the fediverse :)
it's been 4 months now and, in the meantime, plume has also undergone a couple of updates it seems. what's your opinion?
asking because i was about to start a similar thread. :P
