Boost for visibility
Hey, so I'm wanting to set up a public fedi microblogging instance and can't figure out which software I want to use
I'm familiar with managing Mastodon and GoToSocial, but am not particularly happy with Mastodon and feel GoToSocial may be a bit complicated for general users as there is no default front end (I still love you GTS)
I want something that
is relatively lightweight (most *keys are likely too much)
has good moderation features
has a default front end
The way I'll be hosting it all gives me the options in the poll below

If people who follow you on social media are called "followers", what do you call people you follow?

Wanting to explore a #philosophical question in the form of a #ShortStory and #poll:
You're in an estate sale, rummaging around for something you can use in an upcoming hobby project when you come across a heavily patinaed old brass lamp. Wanting to get some sense of its quality, you pick it up and begin rubbing the side of the lamp with your sleeve.
Just then, some kind of smoke begins billowing out of the end of the lamp, and a fog fills the room. Stunned, you look around you and then see the imposing figure of a man in middle-eastern garb and a large headdress suddenly standing before you.
"A GENIE!!" you cry in astonishment.
"That's kinda racist, fam," the not-genie replies. "I'm a djinn, actually, and I'm not going to grant you three wishes."
"You're... not?"
"Nope! But since you did release me from my prison, I have a proposition for you. If you permanently release me, I will give you moderate riches. I will give you the equivalent of 10 times the average yearly salary for someone in the country in which you reside, and you will be untouched by disease, famine, violence, or bonds of any sort. But, since I live forever in my ethereal plane, you will live forever. Everyone around you will age normally and die eventually, but you will retain your health and youth forever. And by forever, I mean forever. Cataclysmic, world-ending events like very late stage climate change, meteor bombardment, the end of your star's life-cycle, or even the heat death of the universe will only reset your timeline to today, after our conversation. Upon the reset, you will continue with the memories of all past timelines, but be able to do things differently, if you like."
"So, you can learn a new language, ten languages, all languages. You never have to work again, or you can study for that job you always wanted. You can better yourself and become a timeless renaissance person, or sit for eternity on your couch, watching telly and eating crisps. But you will be eternal."
"What'll it be?"
(I will attempt to answer any questions you might have for the djinn.)

如果可以选择这以下两种，你会选择：
A，你的确经历过了大约一星期的完美的旅行，你在旅行的过程中超级无敌放松和快乐，每个行程都是最恰到好处的，看到的每个景点都很有趣，住过的每个房间都很舒适。你在旅行的过程中有好好爽到了。但是，你回来之后就失去了对这段旅行的具体记忆。你不记得自己吃了啥玩了啥，不记得在旅行中和陌生人的友好对话，不记得博物馆里曾经让你惊艳的展品，不记得好天气里飘过的那一朵云的形状，你只是模模糊糊地知道，自己曾有一个很好的旅行经历。就连你在旅行中拍过的照片、录音、文字记录都消失了，你甚至没有能用来记事的打结的绳子。
B，你大脑中有上面形容过的所有的详细记忆，你的手机里充满了旅行的快乐碎片，当你翻看那些照片的时候，你都会仿佛回到了那次旅行中一样，你记得起街角杂货店里看门小猫柔软皮毛的触感，记得起那场阳光雨之后天边的一道彩虹。但是，你也知道这些都是模拟的记忆，你从来没有真正经历过这样美好快乐的一星期。
