Diaspora (still!) doesn't do: 1. Chat (It could just integrate a javascript XMPP client and let people use whatever chat server they liked) 2. Event managemen

Diaspora (still!) doesn't do:
1. Chat (It could just integrate a javascript XMPP client and let people use whatever chat server they liked)
2. Event management and invites
When I suggest people leave Facebook, these are the things people complain there are no alternatives to.

- Joeboy 9y agoSo via that link it looks like a PR that "adds event entities" was merged in January. Which sounds vaguely promising, although I'm not sure what it means in practice for end users.
- dbbk 9y agoThat issue has been open for 7 years... what is your point? To me that only demonstrates that the project is dead.
- jhasse 9y agoNo point, just wanted to link to it.
- rebuilder 9y ago#2 is especially galling, as it's actually, to me, the only really compelling service Facebook provides.
- dbbk 9y agoI don't know what it's like in the US, but in the UK pretty much all of university social life is organised via Facebook Events and Groups. There literally is no other option available that people could move to, except for maybe Meetup.com, which would be a poor substitute.
