@hashRaygoza Federating platforms specifically for blogging are WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org) and Plume (https://joinplu.me). If for some reason you're interested in reaching both ActivityPub protocol users and diaspora users, then the choice among mAcroblogging networks would be Friendica or Hubzilla (Socialhome is still in the making). The least helpful but most useful advice would be: try all of them to choose for yourself. :)
@hypolite 🤔 Will have to test it again then. For some reason I thought Friendica decided to make them limited to users they're addressed to, mirroring Mastodon's logic. This behaviour shouldn't lead to confusion in the thread: the author answers publicly to those who replied publicly, and DMs to those who sent a direct message. In Mastodon answering to any DM by default sets a DM reply back, keeping the conversation "private".
@hypolite If we're talking about Mastodon's DMs - including what is "comments" in Friendica - because in Mastodon it's just another post that can be sent as a DM to any kind of post (even a public one)... then it was *your* remote server that warned me showing my (supposedly "private") DM to you as public ;) This was later discussed in the issue (https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/327) and AFAIK is fixed now (didn't test Osada though).
NOTE: "direct messages" visibility was changed in #Friendica and #Hubzilla. Now when you send a "private" DM from Mastodon to these two networks, message's visibility in those networks will be limited (yay!)
Please, remember, that #OStatus networks - GNU Social, postActiv, as well as any malicious servers - will still show your DMs from Mastodon as public. 🔓

@drequivalent@PPRU For everyone interested in "international drug management experience" I recommend the book "Chasing the scream" by Johann Hari (not sure if it was translated to Russian). It gives an overview of the history of war on drugs and stories of successful decriminalization worldwide. Note: legalization is only beginning to happen, it's not yet common, and there're still doubts about many substances.
@Francewhoa AFAIK, this node used to have no plugins for ActivityPub and diaspora protocols. That means all new users registering there won't find them and will think "Hubzilla has problems" connecting to other networks. Which is not true. Unless the node now has those plugins, I'd not recommend it as the first node.
We did a lot of progress to reduce the bus factor lately, but most of the code is still owned and maintained by me.
I think one way to improve that situation would be to have some reviewers before I merge my contributions, to distribute ownership of the codebase on other people.
If you have some interest in HTML/JS/Python/CSS/Design/Docs, and want to help, do you mind adding your name here so I can ping you when relevant?
