Notices tagged with diaspora

@sean I was just looking at #SoLiD (I assume that is the preferred casing?) yesterday, wondering whether it would be worth trying to host a pod. Interesting that they kyped the name, but don’t seem to share any protocols with #Diaspora or any other #federated socnet.

Here's the "final" comment on #ActivityPub by the informal spokesperson on inter-operationg from the #Diaspora project:

@pixeldev YES!!! I loved that in #Diaspora, and it makes me sad daily that I can't do it in #Mastodon...

@sean maybe the solution is to come at the problem sideways and start talking to podmins about it? If a significant number of podmins were willing to move to an AP-compatible soft fork of Diaspora or install an AP plug-in, a team could be formed to do the create it. Then all podmins would have the option to connect to the #fediverse, regardless of what the #Diaspora devs themselves think about it.

Not to forget #NextCloud. Would be nice for #Diaspora to join the party...

@jcbrand just out of curiosity, have you looked into the way #Diaspora has used XMPP? My understanding is that they built a plug-in that allows users to interact with a separate XMPP server via the Diaspora web interface. This means that podmins who want XMPP chat to be available have to install both Diaspora itself *and* an XMPP server, and strap it all together. It also means the #UX of the integration is ... well ... clunky and frustrating (last time I tried it anyway).

So I've heard #Facebook is now following #Tumblr in the #censorship of mostly queer contents (unwittingly or otherwise).

#Mastodon and #Diaspora are great but they're looking for a great alternative to Facebook Groups.

@Jewbacchus what I'd really like to be able to do is sort all the people I follow into self-defined categories (eg tech, writing, scifi etc), each with its own timeline. Kind of like the 'circles' concept from G+, or the 'aspects' concept from #Diaspora, but in reverse; filtering inputs rather than my outputs.

Since #introductions are all going on, I might as well throw mine in.

Hi! I'm Sean. I've been a part of the federated social web for a pretty long time, and used to be the Community Manager at #Diaspora. I'm actually pretty obsessed with the space, and spend a lot of my spare time studying it and writing about it on my bespoke publication, We Distribute.

I've been using GNU/Linux since I was 12, play four instruments, love to sing karaoke, and aspire to be a writer / game designer / astronaut.

Check out the recent updates to the #fediverse guide:
http://fediverse.party/

The front page showcases federated apps that are mature, aimed at average users (no geek superpowers required to use), and federate robustly using either one of the widely used federation standards; #ActivityPub, #Diaspora, or #OStatus. New pages have been added to include a range of up and coming apps that don't (yet) tick all of those boxes.

@mjjzf @rpcutts @carlosceb I think it's very unfair to blame #diaspora for the tragic loss of a young talented man. He could have walked away...

Also, Mastodon has decent Android clients and an API. #Diaspora less so.

@carlosceb @rpcutts claims #Diaspora got a shed load of funding. The fact they burned it annoyed him.

I think #Diaspora is showing signs of a slowdown after the initial flurry of interest and I like the minimal UI but I think the stubborn failure to adopt AP will ultimately kill it.

This is actually a really interesting little development blog of the person building a third-party API for #Diaspora http://www.nequalsonelifestyle.com/wordpress/2018/10/14/diaspora-api-dev-progress-report-1/

Seems to actually be making some decent progress!
