- jeremysmyth 11y agoDespite all the best will in the world on the behalf of the developers and users of Diaspora and other platforms designed to replace Facebook, there is no alternative to Facebook until everyone moves there.
- dredmorbius 11y ago"The alternative" is almost certain not to be an alternative Web-based service, but a set of protocols allowing for interactions between independent and independently hosted systems. Diaspora was a valient effort, but sadly, appears quite doomed (I was an early fan and user).
- alexschleber 11y agoFrom everything I've seen/read during the security research phase for my project, trusting in the computational/security integrity of endless P2P nodes is not a road I want to go down. There really is nothing _a priori_ wrong with the centralized system, PROVIDED said system/operator makes strong Privacy / Data Sovereignity guarantees from the word go.
- dredmorbius 11y agoFair point. It's not necesarily the case that you'd see extensively P2P nodes. But again, a distributed protocol based system would allow for local supernodes, competently administered, to exist. There's also the issue that client nodes, under any model, also require security updates and practices. The universal P2P model really isn't far from that, and certain auto-updating models seem arguably preferable to present offerings.
