Currently in the USA we are seeing a wave of racist nationalist isolationism, so we tend to see these concepts as going together. It's always tempting to draw parallels between USA politics and UK politics since the two nations have b

I did try Diaspora, but the UI seemed awkward and buggy, and it was slow despite me being the only person on it (maybe Heroku would have been better than a generic VPS).
