Seems a bit rhethorical. And the page about facebook doesn't have it. 77.110.49.29 ( talk) 04:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey there folks. Just offering a suggestion here. In Ilya Zhitomirskiy's page there were some suggestions that the article be deleted because all of the other founders of Diaspora do not have a page in WP. Might I suggest that a section be created in this article about the founders of the project? The mention of Ilya's death seems to be in a random place right now, and a section that has details about all the founders would be an appropriate place for the mention of his death. Cheers!

This morning, I added a link to https://joindiaspora.com/ to the box to the right of the page (was not logged in at the time), but it was undone again because 'too spammy'. It seems appropriate to have a URL for the Diaspora network, even though the structure is distributed. What do you think? EelkeSpaak ( talk) 15:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Agreed. I think if we are going to include a link for users to join it should be either to the diaspora foundation website, or to podupti.met where new users can find themselves a pod (of which joindiaspora is one of many). Iamsorandom ( talk) 15:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
This feedback comment requests: "Project Web site / source / GitHub links. Also, a graph explaining how a social mesh network works." This reader appears to have overlooked that the software's external links are available on Diaspora (software). I'm not sure how to avoid this confusion. The other suggestion seems useful but challenging. Dcoetzee 05:24, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
There has to be made a difference between "ownership of data" and "those able to look at the data".
While the pod +user/passw remains in charge if the first, all authorised friends can do the latter. Deleting the data will not alter the "copy" made by some friends in their organic brain, nor in the pics they emailed to other ppl. Like wise imagine these scenarios:
-X has a pod and has fb account coupled to it. FB thus can claim its rights as usual to that data as if you posted it on fb yourself.
-X has a pod and befriends Y via diaspora. Y has a coupled fb account. All data that Y can see, fb can see as well, or any other party that has access to it.

I do not believe that Diaspora user get ownership of their data, as the pods are not owned by every single individual. A friend may easily make a copy of your post like stated above. Also usage of Facebook accounts decrease your control of your data. So in my opinion, "Diaspora users retain ownership of their data and do not assign ownership rights. The software is specifically designed to allow users to download all their images and text that has been uploaded at any time." would be better said as "Diaspora users have an increased ownership of their data, and do not assign ownership rights. The software is specifically designed to allow users to download all their images and text that has been uploaded at any time." I will leave this for you guys to decide, as I'm new to Wikipedia. — Preceding

hi guys. i redirected Diaspora (software) here. most info from there appears to be here.. fill out if i missed something important... 178.148.233.248 ( talk) 01:24, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
damn! i was planning to do the opposite, to redirect this article there... which of the titles makes more sense? 178.148.233.248 ( talk) 01:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Aren't there too many quotes in the article? -- Mortense ( talk) 22:36, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
It says in the article that diaspora is now to be a community project. However it also says elsewhere that Diaspora is managed by Diaspora Inc., a for-profit C-corporation.
This is a bit confusing - and the announcement that it is to transition to being a community project is now almost a year old - it would be good to have an update, whether it is now a community project, what's happened to diaspora inc. etc.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamsorandom ( talk • contribs) 14:59, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
The opening sentence Diaspora (styled DIASPORA*) is a nonprofit, user-owned, should probably indicate that Diaspora was as in past tense. The project failed and it is not expected to ever get off the ground. Does anyone object if I updated this Wiki entry somewhat to show that the project is dead? Damotclese ( talk) 00:45, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
The official web site's link to tutorials is broken, and even the link offered on the official page is broken. The next suitable reference for tutorials is off of YouTube. Damotclese ( talk) 18:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
The article lacks information about data security on Diaspora. Is the data encrypted while being transported between pods? Is there end-to-end encryption? Is it possible to corrupt the system by setting up a malicious pod? There is hardly any discussion on security issues in the article. Kathedra87 ( talk) 13:25, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
The official website https://diasporafoundation.org as well as https://joindiaspora.com uses the all lower case styling. Could user Ahunt explain the recent revert of the text in the introduction to say otherwise? Liiiii ( talk) 15:47, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry I was confused! https://diasporafoundation.org uses all lower case letters. https://joindiaspora.com has an all upper case logo on its front page. Only first letter upper case is displayed when logged in. http://poddery.com/ uses all upper case logo but is inconsistent in the text. There seems to be no consistent styling between sites. Liiiii ( talk) 16:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
The logo image should be updated in the same way. Liiiii ( talk) 16:31, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Should the recent use about Diaspora's recent use by ISIS be in a separate section/subsection? Right now it is in the "Features" section, which is an unhelpful title and hard to find unless you read the whole article. Maybe it could be in a "Potential dangers" section or similar to not make it too specific? Llightex ( talk) 18:10, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Diaspora (social network). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The software is not covered as distinct from the social network in
reliable, secondary sources. It would be sufficient to describe the software in a dedicated section of the parent article. (not
watching, please {{

The infobox lacks a link to the source code repository. The repository is at https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora Reading the Template:Infobox_software documentation I see this needs to be added via Wikidata which I have no experience using. I'm posting this here in the hope that someone who knows how to update the Wikidata can add it. Thank you Kiore ( talk) 19:10, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
