@celesteh @inkslinger topology of the apps and protocols here

-
@inkslinger @celesteh Diaspora (like #GNUSocial) was designed to solve different problems (data abuse + censorship by centralized platforms)
-
@inkslinger @celesteh Mastodon reimplemented GNUSocial to solve the bad actors problem (and the lame #UX). Maybe Diaspora needs the same?
-
@inkslinger major differences: Disapora has no char limits (by default), threaded replies, private message options, realtime chat (XMPP) etc
-
@inkslinger in a nutshell, the #fediverse (GNUSocial, Mastodon, PostActive, Pleroma), is a federated replacement for the #birdsite ...
-
@inkslinger ... while #thefederation (Diaspora, Friendica, Hubzilla, NextCloud) is a federated replacement for #FarceBook
-
@inkslinger true, but 'all messages public' vs. 'private message options' is an important technical difference, as is #XMPP integration
-
@inkslinger ... and as @celesteh pointed out, moderation tools (or lack there-of) isn't merely a different paint job either
-
@kaniini @deadsuperhero @inkslinger GNUSocial + #Qvitter can do this too, and it's a helpful hack ...
-
@kaniini @deadsuperhero @inkslinger can #Pleroma do private messages, and limit posting to specific users/ groups like Diaspora can?
-
@kaniini @deadsuperhero @inkslinger good on you for clarifying "private" ;) Yes, I meant as in not public (not published for anyone to view)
-
@inkslinger @celesteh props to @deadsuperhero for his helpful writing on federated social networks in #WeDistribute
