TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I seem to recall people being interested in this project (Nigel?), just picked this up from a blog comment somewhere, apparently Diaspora has now opened registration without needing an invite.

For anyone unaware, Diaspora is supposed to be a new open source decentralized P2P-style social network facebook and twitter replacement with actual proper privacy settings because it's not owned by a company that wants to sell your data, but just an open platform for a social network. It's decentralized, I'm not really sure how it works, I suppose the main infrastructure is just public stuff part of the project, but anyone that wishes to can set up their own server to add to the network because it's entirely open (thus making sure it can't get co-opted by some big corp selling your data after all).

Fuck those fuck knockers. They're lying shitsacks and I want a refund for the money I donated to them.

What exactly happened?

All I remember is that they never sent you an invite, is that right?

Yep. Not even after I asked them about it. I basically got "Thanks for the money, we changed our minds about letting all the funders have early invites".

So I don't trust them any more than I trust Zucky. You don't solicit donations with certain conditions attached to them, and then change the conditions.

Good point.

I still want to see an open social network happen, though.

I'd like to see it happen too, I just don't have any confidence in it. Also I checked out their site and jesus, the interface is nine kinds of fucked.
