Strypey@sean I feel your pain bro, and I know it must be particularly frustrating given you history with the project. My unsolicited advice is to give it time. By the end of this year (surely!), every other federated app that's still kicking will have some kind of AP support, and they will be the only app left out a growing, thriving #fediverse. At that point, users will start jumping ship, and the Diaspora devs will have to re-revaluate their #NIH attitude to AP.
