Thread: A Ron Paul Presence on Diaspora (a privacy friendly soc-net)

    A Ron Paul Presence on Diaspora (a privacy friendly soc-net)

    Disapora is a new social network that does not have the privacy problems of FB/G+/Twitter.

    Here is an an excerpt from an article about it

    Diaspora is open-source software that duplicates the functions of a social network like Facebook while ensuring that users retain full control and ownership of everything they share on the network; instead of first uploading photos to Facebook and then choosing who gets to see them, Diaspora users can simply share photos directly with each other without having to go through a corporate middleman or agree to a company privacy policy.

    There is no central Diaspora network or Website; since the Diaspora code is freely available online, anyone with a server handy can host a Diaspora server that you can join. The software is still in development, but an alpha version is already available and several Diaspora servers are already operational. These servers (known as “pods”) allow registered users to store data (like mail and photos) and maintain their own personal profile. Every pod is different: Some are invite-only, some have space limits, and some are more secure than others. You can even host your own Diaspora pod to retain absolute control of your online identity. It’s like living in your own private Idaho (on the Internet.)
    It is in alpha right now (not a whole lot of functionality). I signed up on the list early, and got in a week or so ago. It looks good.

    If anyone wants an invite, send me a PM with an email address you want to use for this. I'd like to see a strong RP presence there, and imagine many members here who stay away from FB/G+/Tw will be able to expand their reach without sacrificing their privacy

    Onward!

    I definitely plan on checking out any privacy-friendly social networks. Facebook just gets more and more frightening by the day.

    I was just reading about hosting a POD. I have a spare PC, think I will host up a POD so everyone can have a cool liberty home pod =). Give me a week or so. Thanks RPH, I had forgotten all about this for some reason.

    I own the domain liberty-seeds.com. I was intending on setting up a pod when it gets out of alpha.

    The trick is getting your kids friends to look at it, otherwise they will be in a sandbox all by themselves, so to speak and/or literally.

    I'm hoping it becomes like a base for soc-netting. Right now you can automatically post from any one of the big three into the others via things like publishsynch. Diaspora only has Tumblr synchable at the moment, but I'm sure that will change as this develops...

    I suspect this will grow steadily. Open source distributed networks are attractive for many reasons, (and IINM hard for authorities to control...).
