Ha ha. Great :D
Still, I a Spring-backend sounds more promising than Python ...

Although I love Piefed for the topics-idea alone.
Written in a common programming language that many developers understand and which has a bright future ahead of it. Python, of course!
Not to be a complete downer, there are some good ideas which this project has, but I am really skeptical if Python is a good choice for this kind of application. Especally if it has to run on servers.
Python is slower than compiled languages, it's true, but it's still very fast. Bottlenecks are more likely to come from external connections to the frontend, other APIs, and database than from the server codebase itself.
if mastodon can work for most of the fediverse on ruby, python cal be viable. not to mention how much of the parts of the internet we enjoyed were written in php. claiming python is not suitable for webservices is ultimately kinda wild given how much it gets used for exactly that
Python is pretty performant for web services to be fair. But maybe social media isn't ideal for it?
