Beginning to think its time I got one working properly - any usesrs out ther? Tom te tom te tomI am a bit frustrated by Diaspora and the lack of a data centre in Cornwall. I would love to set up and run my own Diaspora network. I have a whole load of family members who would not use Facebook if I had a Diaspora network set up. I have a Diaspora account but am unable to use it because no one else uses Diaspora. When I suggest using Diaspora on a different server most family members ask why is that different to Facebook. I explain about data ownership etc but they point out that there data is now on someone else's server and the problem could persist.
Agreed. Phil Hudson posts on there quite a bit, but he was my only friend.... Bring out the violins! haha! No one else I know and certainly none of the family have an account. Perhaps that's a failing on my part.. lol
Apparently you can make Diaspora posts which automagically get posted to your other social media things (FB, G+ etc)
To be honest, I'm getting a bit cheesed off with facebook et al. I don't really need to know that you had "skimmed milk with your corn flakes this morning"! lol
