Elon Musk drove more than a million people to Mastodon – but many aren’t sticking around: More than 130,000 people were joining the new independent social media network a day in November. So why hasn’t it taken off?
...to the original project. https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora
- Since we are being censored by reddit. Do we activate the Gangnam protocol?

Twitter will remove accounts created solely to promote other social platforms
I remember making similar comments about Diaspora vs Facebook a decade ago, but people are... lazy. Yeah, let's go with lazy.

Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?
diaspora* is still a thing, and what you describe looks like its concept of "aspect", which was developed before google+ " circles". It is AGPL, you're welcome to contribute or fork it. https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora

Stop
to be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the 'verse. IMHO Friendica is where its at, and you can still communicate with all the twitter refugees on Mastodon, as well as meater content on services likeDiaspora*, not to mention full integration with Lemmy (which works fairly similar to Reddit) while Masto you can see lemmy posts and replies without having to leave your preferred application or webpage, but you can only reply, you can post your own from a Mastodon account.

I think that is what Diaspora aimed for. Although they made it WAY too complicated. Hasn't even reached a million active accounts.

Diaspora* has never been more appropriately named.
- Social Media Is Dead: What we call social media networks are anything but. Now that they're beginning to unravel, we should ask what it would take to create social media for people, not advertisers.
