I recently subscribed to their development mailing list, and then rapidly unsubscribed. It was mostly an echo chamber of people (rightly) bashing the code written with no thought to "security as design principle" mixed with people (rightly) clamoring for more documentation and some kind of architecture spec so they could help. I was excited about Diaspora, but the work released after months and months of development time is, in my mind, severely lacking. Maybe the beta (if there ever is one) will change my mind?
