   @jeffcliff @brainblasted The chronology rather goes the other way. Diaspora's growth stagnated before they lost their lead dev.
   
   I think a lot of it is the curse of great funding, and very enthusiastic people taking on a bigger project than they realized. When the funding ran out, the project lost steam.
   
   Alternatively, one could say that the Diaspora Federation is alive and well, and the people in it are happy, feel that it is a success, and don't really feel the need to take over the world.
   
   It's very encouraging to see that new projects are popping up around Diaspora lately, and that e.g. #socialhome is aiming to support both the Diaspora protocol and ActivityPub.

     @brainblasted @jeffcliff The Oregon Trail up on the Internet Archive is played once every 8 seconds, mostly by kids in schools who do it as part of their curriculum.

     @jeffcliff @brainblasted Didn't know the same person was working for the Internet Archive and founding the Archive Team.

     @brainblasted @jeffcliff Ah, ok, after the first cheery half hour it becomes hyper relevant to the funding curse and really disturbing. Oh, and at the end he explicitly mentioned Ilya too.
     
     Wow, that http://ascii.textfiles.com/schuyler-towne-kickstarter story is really something. :'( <3

     @brainblasted @jeffcliff I thought that http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/980341-prattkeeping meme was pretty fun, especially that zookeeper who did it with real life modern dinosaurs.

     I seriously consider spinning up an instance of #socialhome to promote the exodus of my family and friends. Recent events seem to have helped awareness.

     @vaeringjar Is socialhome the facebookiest federated social software?

     @vaeringjar Wow, haven't heard of that before. Remarkably market-oriented and uninformative homepage.
     
     So it seems it's a single-site service? The people are networked but not the site? No federation protocol?
