The "Tech News Today" discussion of Ello was vacuous. One commentator referred to Identi.ca and Diaspora as "failed." But that presupposes that "success" means "dominance." In the federated social network universe, "success" means "is used by people to communicate in a a self-sustaining and non-centralized way." Alternatives to Facebook and Twitter have succeeded. They facilitate learning and communication and discovery. People meet new people and maintain friendships. I am sorry that most people don't use the federated networks, and instead choose the monolithic social networks.
