I'm probably just parroting vague vibes like you say. The first time I heard of pleroma was in the context of [Lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/) defederating from a ton of pleroma instances that were far right, or otherwise undesirable. But that's more the users and not the software itself.

Hey folks, I have several accounts across the fediverse (Lemmy, pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm), and I think it would be neat to have a single identity across all these platforms.

I'm an amateur self hoster, and was looking into Rebased, a fork of Pleroma. If I were to create a single user instance on rebased, what would I be missing over these accounts on all these services? Could I still use the different apps? (Blorp, Pachli, Rocinante). Would I be missing features?

I had this idea the other day about how the evolution of religion over time seems to correlate directly to the part of the hierarchy of needs that most members of the faith fail to achieve.

# God as nature

The first deities belonged to groups of people that were entirely at the whims of their environment. Storms, droughts, floods meant death. This was the time of Animism, where our god's controlled the weather, the crops, the change of seasons. These ancient gods served the physiological needs, ensuring humans ate, had shelter, and survived the winter. These were polytheistic gods.

# God as warrior

After this, deities belonged to nations. The Israelites believed Yahweh would lead them into the holy land and defeat their enemies. This was polytheistic in the sense that it was believed other nations gods existed, but were engaging in battle with one another. These gods served safety and security need. Keeping **us** safe from **them**.

# God as parent

After the ages of war and the movement into global trade, the need failing to be met was community and companionship within our nations. God began to be viewed as the "parent" over all his "children". We are all siblings, so God wants us to all get along. God wants community love and friendship. This serves love and belonging, and is the current state of most religions.

# God as power

The resurgence of "witchcraft" displays the desire to build our self esteem. Magic, ritual, and individualist spiritual practice serve the needs of achievement and uniqueness.

# God as self?

Eventually, once all needs are met, we will unify God with our own consciousness. We have all our needs met and can experience pure living. Religion will seemingly fade away, and we will deify our own experience of existence.

... And at worst, actively making your bedroom less functional and more cumbersome to use. The arguments I hear in favor of it are completely asinine and I will address them one by one.

1. It makes it more comfortable to sleep in.

I have absolutely no idea where that comes from. Do you all sleep like Dracula? My bedding is usually tussled about within minutes of me laying in bed. Blankets balled up for knee support, one leg sticking out for temperature venting. I couldn't imagine sliding under the covers and laying perfectly supine like Vladimir Lenin.

2. It doesn't take much time, so you might as well do it.

I find any task not worth my time to be a waste, so unless it has a purpose, it is actively infuriating to do.

3. It looks nice. And an unmade bed looks lazy

Given that this is an entirely subjective reason, I can't exactly "disagree" with it. But if there was someone I trust enough to be in my bedroom, I'm not going to waste my time convincing you that I do not, in fact, sleep in my bed.

Not to mention that if you want to nap or even sit on the end of the bed, you have to make it again. It is an incredibly unstable artwork, making me avoid using my bed unless I really need to.

If you make your bed, I have no judgment for you. Just like people who fold designs into the ends of their toilet paper. I couldn't imagine caring about something like that, but it literally doesn't affect me at all, so go nuts.

But I think we should be honest and call it what it is: some kind of shameful cleaning ritual that is probably some vestigial military chore, and I want nothing to do with it.
