I joined Diaspora back when Google+ went tits up. Is Anything actually happening over there?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's pretty dead, a lot of pods has closed down last year and it continues to shrink, they could maybe reverse the process by supporting ActivityPub or other additional protocol, but they have refused, and diaspora* protocol hasn't gained any additional traction, sooo..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Friendica it is then.

@Fitik So the only chance of Diaspora to survive is for Friendica to grow. Just like it happened with Mastodon back in the day, and I could see anything I wanted.

Won't happen.

Around December 29th, multiple big diaspora* pods shut down. According to one source, diaspora* lost over half of its users within three days. On January 25th, diasp.org, one of the biggest pods, will meet its end.

Also, if anything, Friendica (plus Hubzilla plus Socialhome) will suck the rest of life out of diaspora*. diaspora* users will move there from their own dying pods to stay in contact both with their friends who still hold out on diaspora* and with their friends who have moved on to something that uses ActivityPub. And the former will become fewer and fewer as more and more pods shut down.

@JupiterRowland Holly hell, why did they shut down?

[–] JupiterRowland 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No idea. I've stopped using diaspora* eons ago.

@JupiterRowland I see. Sucks though, but I guess we now have more consolidated alternatives to go to as Facebook alternatives. :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I think Hubzilla and Friendica are its only links to the rest of the Fediverse. Both support ActivityPub and Diaspora.

Ironically, Google+ was an all-out diaspora* ripoff. And Google got away with it because they brazenly stole from something that nobody even knew existed.

Remember Google's new UI style? The black bar at the top? Stolen from diaspora* for Google+.

Also, everyone claims that Google+ invented the concept of "circles". Actually, Google just ripped off diaspora*'s aspects. (And Friendica had them several months before diaspora* even. So Friendica had them first. Not diaspora*. And Google even less.)

Yep I was a very early developer (software developer) on the platform back in the day. Facebook and Google both stole a lot of what diaspora did with communities/circles and UI. I have not been on it for a very long time. I should take another look.
