As I said in the linked post: choosing not to use Facebook is currently a high-cost/impractical choice for many people. That means we're almost obliged to accept how they use our data.
You called Diaspora's original aims "a trivial problem". That sounds like the opposite of "important" to me.
- kvnn 14y agoI called Diaspora's original aim trivial compared to the aims of SpaceX.
- graue 14y agoWell, that seems like apples and oranges to me. Space exploration may (or may not) end up being important to human race's survival super-long-term, but breaking Facebook's monopoly, replacing it with services that offer clear, honest privacy settings, would help a lot of people now. There's no reason we can't have both SpaceX and a Diaspora-like project — important in different ways to different groups of people.
