The issue between zap and mastodon 3.2.1 has been quickly resolved so can focus on ascertaining if it could be a replacement for pleroma at some point.

Observations so far:

+
* Looks more like FB than twitter (not in any way important for me but preferable for family/friends who heavily favour the former over the latter).
* Less jargon-y than before.
* Focus on security, privacy and controls to protect against abuse
* Plug n' play apps allowing user to tailor experience (to a degree)
* Circles (or Access Control Lists)
* Multiple channels (identities) to one account
* Different channel types: social media or group
* Nice new activity indicator
* Individual permissions applicable per connection

-
* Stream loading can be pretty slow (last refresh took around 10 seconds) - possibly due to the ARM64 device its hosted on though doubtful given its single user following only about 26 accounts and the SBC has 4GB RAM and 6 cores, and according to grafana is non-plussed 
* Haven't worked out yet if there is a way to apply content warnings to outgoing posts.. there are tools to do so for incoming based on a number of criteria (though it doesn't appear to work for me either yet)
* Documentation is sparse, not sure of API details for encouraging the brid.gy dev to hook up for webmentions

~
* Haven't checked out photos/galleries so not pre-emptively judging
* Has file share\DAV capabilities - no opinion yet
* Calendar & Events - if there is future compatability with Mobilizon then this could be good.. and maybe if I ever encourage family to join then it'll be a great feature.. currently no opinion
* Diaspora connectivity
