Under marked otherwise, all posts from this account are #CC #BYSA 4.0. Unless I send a DM, I want all my posts publicly visible, to any web browser, and any other user app or archival/ research system that speaks #ActivityPub (and ideally #Diaspora and #Zot too). I'm happy for them to be indexed by any search system and included in any relevant search. That's why I publish them on the web with Mastodon. When I want to have private discussion, I use DMs. One day the AP-verse will do this better.

@fedilab awesome. Being able to use both #Diaspora and an AP-compatible account within the same client would make me much more likely to use my D* account (which I haven't for ages TBH)

True, but not as good as having all the conferencing going through the client apps (as Jami does), with no dependence on servers. Also, as with the attempt to shoehorn #Jabber chat into #Diaspora, it makes hosting a Matrix server even more of a headache if you also have to stand up a Jitsi Meet stack and duct tape the two together.

#Diaspora has always allowed this. If only somebody outside the core team would come up with a way for D* instances to inter-operate with AP apps ...

@neil @bhaugen @KevinMarks

Over and over I come across people saying that #Diaspora is "like FB". It really isn't. It's more like a federated version of G+. The main thing that makes the UI different from Titter or Mastodon is that by default it doesn't have a character limit, and as well as as public or private, posts can be sent only to a group of users defined by the sender.

@dredmorbius same :) I currently blog on an ancient Wordpress fork hosted by #CoActivate.org, but I'm keen to transition to something that interacts with the #fediverse, as well as publishing to the web. I've considered using apps that allow long form posts and speak a number of federation standards. Eg #Friendica (#OStatus, #Diaspora, #ActivityPub) or #Hubzilla (all those plus #Zot). I'm also watching the tech deployed for @blog (WP + plugins).
