@fla @paulfree14 Addendum: I was there at #Diaspora between 2012 / 2013 and 2016. Most time with the same topics as here also, with the difference that I host now #GNUsocial on my own. Most time topics and discussions about politics, society and an antithesis. But with this combination it's already a pity to discover that there are enough borders and when questioning some "major lovely toys" for example - talking about #Google or #YouTube - you'll get the corresponding feedback and people show up that they really don't care about protection. It's all about a masquerade and people invest more time posting some "cat-pictures" or proprietary links instead being part of the community. So far to my time at #Diaspora and last but not least when trying to standup against open said racism or antisemitism there are enough participants of the so-called community having problems doing that.

I have no doubt that there is some kind of community, but not for everyone and that's the point. Would I recommend #Diaspora to others? No, because of the given reasons above when searching for deep talks and discussions for a change. Yes, when searching for just another place playing with the own digital self-image.
