Diaspora

Diaspora* main strength over Minds.com is that Diaspora* is really fully decentralized (distributed and federated). Compare to Minds which is NOT yet fully decentralized. Open source code is not to be confuse with decentralized.

By decentralized ("distributed" and "federated") I mean with Minds everyone’s data is being stored into ONE huge CENTRAL servers owned by a ONE large organization. Compare to Diaspora* which stores everyone’s data on MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT servers (“pods”) all over the world. You simply choose which pod to register with, and you can then connect seamlessly with the diaspora* community worldwide. Thus Diaspora is much safer and more robust.

Many Diaspora Pods died :( Like www.joindiaspora.com

NOT free! :( Diaspora Germany https://diasp.de/users/sign_up we charge 1€ per month for Diaspora (and that's it). Konto erstellen 7 days free trial. Cancel at any time. Yearly payment processed securely with bank-level SSL.

Reminds me of the MySpace Days.

I created an account and before I'd even entered any information into my profile I got a message asking for money. Nowhere on any of the websites recommending Diaspora does it mention that you are expected to pay to use it. I deleted my account immediately - descriptions need to be updated so that people don't join and then find they also have to pay.

The main idea to share with who you want and make groups from starts, with "aspects" , after years, the way is distributed, simple and clean layout makes this social one of the top. It's years that exist and with low numbers of followers, because it has no marketing. I will promote as far as I can.

Free distribution of content without censorship.

Good concept, but some functions still needed:

1. Easily moving profiles between pods.
2. Creating backup profile(s) on other pod(s) for the case of banning or if the pod became unavailable.
3. Possibility of creating Groups like on Facebook.
4. Possibility to like/dislike comments.
5. Possibility to attach any kind of file to private messages.
6. Audio/Video call of friends.
