So why Mastodon not Diaspora?I can see good potential in both but am sorting out which will be better to promote to family / friends. Seems Mastodon for twitter and Diaspora more for Facebook from look and feel. Majority of family on Facebook...Tech crowd: MastodonFamily: Diaspora?#mastodon #diaspora

@rik if you have to choose it seems like a flaw. ActivityPub should help connect those services I thought? Unless diaspora isn't using AP

@marxistpenguinist @rik Diaspora dev team clearly stated they didn't wanted to adopt the standard AP.

@marxistpenguinist @rik Diaspora dev aren't implementing new features for years. Because they say they have invested too much time already in their own protocol

@marxistpenguinist @marsxyz 2 things appealing about diaspora that don't seem to be met as well by Mastodon:1. Nice to see how many comments or replies there are to a post without opening it up first.2. Text formatting and larger images in main feed.I think both of those are nice, but of course Mastodon has nicer features of being able to follow multiple hashtags at a single time, etc. in different columns.#mastodon #diaspora

@rik @marxistpenguinist if you want larger picture and basic text formatting, pleroma supports thzt and is on the fediverse

@marsxyz @rik I think Friendica could be a better way to go tbh. More facebook-like features and they support Ostatus, Activity Pub (and thus connected to Mastodon, Pleroma) AND Diaspora. I haven't tried it out myself and I'm not following the development of it, so there may be reasons not to use it that I don't know of, but from what I see it should fit your needs better than Mastodon, Pleroma or Diaspora. https://friendi.ca/
