Why Diaspora?

Genuinely curious about this, I have a few followers and a few mutuals that are on #diaspora , and at this point I have to ask why?

Genuine question, even six months ago, I wouldn't've asked, I mean Diaspora is nice, I really like it, even if'n its not got AP connectivity, but with new things like Wafrn and Loops, especially Loops, it seems like the lack of AP connectivity means being left behind and losing out these days.

I like the folks here and the feed doesn't zoom by at a zillion miles an hour.

We all probably have our own reasons. But by elimination diaspora works for me. The Meta world is totally unacceptable to me because the owner has no morals. There are probably some appealing discussion groups there, but i'll never login again.

Microblogging, Mastodon and Bluesky, just are too choppy, too many snippets out of context to spend much time with. Xitter, ha, what a dumpster fire. Tumblr, eh, not for me. What's left? I don't know about Wafrn and loops.

@Coaster Nods, "AP is Mastodon, Loops, Peertube, the Fediverse in general. Wafrn is the Fediverse answer to Tumblr, Loops is the Fediverse answer to TikTok. As to Tumblr, I kinda like it, but you definitely need to find the right group, which prolly took me something like 5 years, but its been long enough that I don't remember."

Yes but then the backlog builds up so fast that there's no point trawling though it. There's a certain frequency of posting beyond which it's impossible to keep up.

@Khurram Wadee Oh that is so very, very true, I'm at the point where I have personal rules for how much of the timelines I look at, and I don't sweat missing stuff, its not like in real life that I can keep up with everything happening, no reason online should be different, for those things are important, I'll put them on a list, or chase them down individually, the rest, I see what I see.

I have a blog where I archive my posts with a tag cloud, and also have an index.

@Andrew Pam Interesting, what's that running? I use this place as a blog, but haven't decided on its future as I have a love-hate relationship with #friendica , on one hand it has post scheduling and is AP and Diaspora compatible, unlimited length posts and inline images, on the other hand, the design is god awful, settings are a complete mess, and the interface is really cluttered.
