In what appears to be a tradition of using a twitter name on there, I am tim_c@diasp.org

(I try and use the same everywhere anyway)

Looks interesting. Lets hope it doesn’t become another Google+ !!

Bring it on. I’m ihatemornings@diasp.org and I’m starting to enjoy it over there. I think Adrian has a point: it’s only going to be a small subset of your social group that uses Diaspora. But I’m happy with that, and I don’t think we need to put too much effort into dragging people there. If it’s interesting, the geeks will arrive eventually.

I’m glad Diaspora is trying to solve the open social network problem, but I think as creators we need to be thinking about tools for self-hosted publishing too. If we can create tools that make the most of the embedding and sharing features of Diaspora and the other networks, we can start to move away from the data-selling hosted options there too. This stuff must be on my mind. I blogged it this morning…

Although I do wonder exactly how many of the people I really care about are on Facebook and only Facebook, and I don’t get the chance to interact in person.

What’s Diaspora like for moderation? Will become an issue as soon as Diaspora becomes big enough to attract trolls, spam and other bad actors.

It’s a great idea, and I signed up a few weeks ago. But then I quickly remembered why I deleted my Google+ account… as much as I love my geekier friends, they’re only a small portion of my total friends, and the majority probably aren’t sure what Twitter is, never mind Diaspora. They only just made it from Friends Reunited to Facebook, so I doubt they’re going to be getting to Diaspora any time soon. And that’s a shit situation. Well done, Facebook for making me relax my principles in order to talk to my friends

i agree, it looks really interesting. not only because it is well set-up (the interface will get prettier and more fluid as it grows so i won’t worry about that right now) and it caters to the most interesting people on the web and not the legions of idiots that fill other social networks. plus there’s already tons of cool stuff and people on it.

i’m over at pierrotechnique@diasp.org

Comment on Calling All Indie Musicians… by Steve

Darren, it’s OK, it’s desktop only, for now. Porting to mobile would be easy, but it’s not happened yet. one step at a time

I’m definitely interested, since I’ll have my first album done within the next month or so. My main question is, is this a mobile app? If it is, that precludes me, not being rich enough to not have to choose between music and a smartphone. Thanks!

A great article, John. As a new guy to the UK, Greenbelt is on my list, and even more so given your endorsement.

Here’s to more respectful atheist-Christian dialogue.
