It is funny, I have looked at the code and am not a big ruby/rails person, but see obvious flaws and security holes. However, a lot of the discussion around these have been either in the "it is amateurish" bucket or the "are they expecting help from the OSS community? that is leveraging eyeballs, that may not come". Now, while it hasn't been their primary intension (most likely), to have the OSS community (and others curious about the code) provide fixes and feed back, they sure have gotten a lot of input and advice. I also suspect they have learned quite a lot through the feedback - positive, constructive, and inflammatory. You really can't ask much more -- aside from some direct help. While I have no plan to run my own Diaspora node, I do look forward to seeing how the code and project evolve.
