   The stance by some of the #Diaspora core devs over #ActivityPub is quite honestly disappointing, and kind of perpetuates everything that depresses me over that project.
   
   https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/7422
   
   There are many valid criticisms to be had, but Diaspora in general has done fuck-all to support federation with other platforms, forcing those systems to conform to its own protocol instead.
   
   The do-nothing attitude of their devs is particularly infuriating because their pushback arguments fall flat when compared against other projects. Friendica put the effort in, as did Hubzilla and Osada. None of them have "perfect" implementations by any means, but people within those projects have nevertheless made some kind of effort.

     At this point, I'd rather just see a Diaspora frontend for #Pleroma come out, and have everyone from D* migrate over to it.
     
     At the very least, people on that end of the Free Network could actually plug in to the full benefits of the fediverse, rather than linger in the corner of the Free Network that was really just formed out of apathy on Diaspora's part. Literally all of the platforms in that part of the graph other than Diaspora support a secondary fediverse protocol anyway.

     @sean After reading that issue on github I've decided to close my #diaspora pod because now is clear that it could remain isolated from #ActivityPub
     pod.mastodont.cat is already stopped.

     @sean This is why I don't like non-standardized federation or its extensions (I mean that I dislike those which are not under #W3C, #ISO or #IETF or some standards foundation). The moment I saw myself managing two accounts for the same purpose, and one standardized and federated, I got out.
