[Liverpool] Diaspora

[Andrew Bates]

I'm not trying to start a flame bait here, but...seriously?

And people in the Open Source community wonder why Diaspora is a
'Diasaster'?

If people that espouse Diaspora are only intending it to be for an
exclusive subset of users, then fair play - I've nothing against that, and
in fact that's exactly how I treat Google+ (the antidote to Facebook {from
my perspective anyway}).

But if people that espouse it, expect it to be adopted by 'the average
joe', with barriers such as this, it's no wonder that people would rather
use Facebook.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something? I dunno. I'm sure someone
more knowledgeable will pipe up and put me in my place, but as someone
looking at this from a usability perspective, this seems to be a MAJOR
failing.
