@Benj⛤min :verified: Still, it started something great. I remember how enthousiastic I was when I first heard about Diaspora*, long ago. This was how social media should be, not that Facebook that everybody and his mother were flocking to.

I never ran my own server, didn't seem worth the effort because I didn't do social media at the time, but I was very much intrigued by the idea.

And see where it brought us: Diaspora* may be slowly dying, but all kinds of alternatives have emerged. The concept is still very much alive today, it's just the protocol of this particular thing that's slowly being abandoned.

Let's call it evolution.
