[Liverpool] Diaspora

[Hartley, Daniel]

Cheers both. I'm just interested in it. I like the word, to begin with. I'm no evangelical, honest.

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.
