   Playing around with #diaspora has made me ponder the difference in use case between it and #Mastodon. I like both, and they can federated with one another, but other than UI they don't seem particularly different. Once you get past the paint job, are they really different enough to use both?

     @inkslinger The Fediverse and the Federation federate in a very limited sense -- you can follow a Diaspora account from GNU Social. I don't even know how you would do it from Mastodon.
     
     But there's no interaction, it's just like following an RSS feed (which is basically what's going on).

     @clacke @whistlewright I think we could benefit if we could encapsulate the GUI, the comm layer(s), and the database/schema into interchangeable modules. Diaspora UI on top of Mastodon data with a fediverse-federation comm.

     @vaeringjar @whistlewright Yes! I was just thinking that I want Pleroma FE on top of patchfoo.
     
     Basically I want Pleroma FE on top of All The Things.

     > Diaspora can understand OStatus
     
     That's too strong a statement. I don't even know if you can follow OStatus users from Diaspora. The Diaspora protocol suite shares a few bits with OStatus and therefore happens to partially work.

     @luka @inkslinger Hubzilla speaks Diaspora as well.
