About D*

To social media it seems one can apply a "citizenship" and "nation state" analogues. To receive services you must be counted in the census.

  • Facebook is a ruthless expansionist imperialist superstate that collects taxes in the form of forcing citizens/users to view non-opt-in ads which they don't.
  • Diaspora* is a loose transnational organization for intercultural exchange.

Emigration

is clearly #1 on the wishlist. Implementation of emigration between D* pods so that datas and will help drive innovation and high quality and importantly remove a mental barrier-of-entry of the potential new D* user: "Which pod should I choose? The Free'est? The coolest domained? The one closest geographically? The one with best uptime.. I can't decide.. This is too difficult.. I'ma give up.."

Split public into global and local publics

To allow global aggregation of posts ( and most essential of #hashtags ) marked "global" will be available to all users in all pods whereas the "public" remains as it is


Ids

Diaspora has dual id system where one is the webfinger address and the other is a 17 hexadecimal character string so that makes an address space of 295,147,905,179,352,825,856 addresses, which is nice.

Diasporamail.net

"With DiasporaMail.net you'll never lose ability to recover passwords."

DiasporaMail.net - an exploration into the possibilities to provide a lifetime free-of-charge email relay address for the inhabitants of planet Earth as an added value service for Diaspora* network.

I have been a member of http://iki.fi ( Internet Users Forever ) since mid-'90s which provides the exact same service for an initial charge of 30€ to join in and no membership payments have had to be collected ever as the infra and utilities are covered by the joining charges of new members.

The usefullness of lifetime email relay service is most obvious when always using the address to register to websites and services as passwords can be recovered years of tens of years after registration.


Iki.fi provides only private individuals with these addresses, not businesses or other entities.

Each new alias must be approved by the board meeting of the association and as the service is for Finnish locals only the existence and right identity of joiners can be easily and reliably confirmed significantly lowering the risk of abuse.

To relay email traffic almost no CPU and no disk is required, only IP traffic.
