## What is Pleroma?
From *What Is Pleroma?*[^1]
> Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange
> messages with) other servers that support the same federation standards
> (OStatus and ActivityPub). What that means is that you can host a server for
> yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but
> still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate
> with all servers that implement either OStatus or ActivityPub, like GNU
> Social, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mastodon.
Since it all uses ActivityPub in the background, that means that, for example,
you can comment on a video from [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/) using an
existing account on an ActivityPub-compatible service such as
[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) or [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/).[^2]
