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.
