Each server is single-profile? If so, I agree that that's a terrible design. I'd assumed that it was more jabber-like in that anyone could start a server, rather than having to have one.
- TallGuyShort 16y agoSomeone suggested to me a peer-to-peer file sharing kind of structure, where your friends get a copy of your diaspora instance and can host it to your other friends while you're offline, etc...
- NathanKP 16y agoIt sounds like each server is single-profile, though perhaps the server could be shared for a household. But if you want the true privacy of Diaspora then yes you would need to host your own Diaspora server.
- anamax 16y ago"need to" points to biz opportunities. If people actually care, there will be a number of services providing "servers" under various conditions. Some will be advertising supported. Some will be for-pay. Some will be subsidized. Some will be shared. Some will be virtual. and so on.
- randallsquared 16y agoThis is exactly what I assumed. This model would allow the Diaspora developing company to host their own set of servers to jumpstart the network effects.
- neurotech1 16y agoOneSocialWeb (http://onesocialweb.org/ http://onesocialweb.org/) is XMPP/Jabber based,I haven't evaluated their offering yet.

- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoWow already jumping into implementation, the funding is not even over yet. Honestly, I am assuming one goal will be to make it flexible. And a second goal and major dev effort (or maybe even a plea for help) will be to make it so a child can use it effectively.
