    I'm considering firing up a new #Diaspora instance to serve the same sorts of purposes as FB, but without racism, data harvesting, or undermining of democracy.

    Does anyone in the Mastodonoverse have thoughts, recommendations, or ideas on this?

    A big question: is Diaspora currently the best technology / platform for what I'm looking to do?

    I'm planning on opening the instance to friends and family at first, then *possibly* allowing others to create profiles there later on.

      @michela Why not Mastodon?

        @Modern_Industrial Mastodon is a lot more like twitter to me. I think it would be nice to have something like Diaspora or FB to keep in touch with people -- where friends and relatives can post photos, have group discussions, and have a page for all their stuff.

        I'm cancelling my FB account, but every time I go on there lately, I see people and things that I've missed. It would be nice to have all that, without the horrible things that FB is and does.

          @Modern_Industrial Mastodon does some of that, but not all of it, and not in the same way.

        @fla Thanks for the reply! I think I'm going to try setting up a node. 🙂
