Do you remember #Diaspora?

Have you ever tried it?

It does a lot of sane and interesting things, It was glissed because it was made by a bunch of #flossbros (too much leftist), then everybody called the experts and they came out with ActivityPub, which is a a W3C project, that means also the #TechBros are indirectly involved.

Maybe it is time to come back and rediscover it... 🤔

@freezr Yeah I did. I remember finding it unusable.

@aral

I still find it the most usable and rational social media platform, focused on long post and neat threads organization.

Not sure what you consider unusable, I think the same of anything is twitter/mastodon alike.

@freezr Might have improved since I looked. Will take another look. At the time it started out by making you choose hashtags. This was many years ago :)

@aral are you able to report this as a bug?

aral, 26 days ago

@torspedia It’s been reported multiple times over multiple years. It’s apparently a feature not a bug.

@aral It's not an appropriate way of telling us that. A little less (zero) f-words?

@apenkop I’m so sorry, Frans. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will immediately take action to ensure that you are never subjected to such unacceptable language in the future.
