    https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/8642 #Friendica Someone that is familiar with #Diaspora is writing a new socnet based on #ActivityPub, wishes to change other #Fediverse software to follow Diaspora's model (viewer's server hijacks hashtags so the #hashtag search points to the viewer's home server, not the original poster's home server). The model that has been followed by almost all federated socnets for over a decade is that hashtag search links are inserted by the poster's server and point back there.

    IMO, a remote server changing the links is sketchy as heck*, but if they added local hashtag links in a separate area outside the post itself, that's acceptable. Or if they followed the #Pump.io idea of keeping hashtags completely separate from the basic server, then an external server (e.g. ragtag\.io) would be called to index and link the tag during the posting process, and searches would be performed based on results from the tag server.

    Anyway, I can't be bothered logging into Github to comment, but maybe @heluecht and other Friendica devs will see this and take this into consideration.

    * Remote servers editing the contents of one's posts is about as sketchy as it gets. There are rare occasions where that may be acceptable (i.e., to insert NSFW tags / image hiding on posts from instances where untagged NSFW content originates), but editing content to hijack hashtag search is about as questionable as one could get.

    @simsa03 That's for my account on the #Diaspora network, where most of my real contacts have left years ago, leaving dozens of spammy newsbots squatting on my subscribed hashtags and flooding out real people.

    I've been 'ignoring' newsbots (and one person that often posts the identical thing from 3-4 different accounts) that pollute the #Linux hashtag on #Diaspora.

    That's cleaned up my timeline quite a bit, but it will probably be stagnant now.

    So many #newsbots / #bots squat on the #Diaspora "Linux" hashtag. Most of them have multiple incarnations on different instances, so each post may appear in the stream 2-3 times. No wonder I only log in about once every 2-3 months.

    (I'm using "ignore this poster" to manage the most frequent posting bots. They seem to make hashtags useless, because they pollute the stream with peripherally-connected junk articles.)

    #GPlus is / was a non-federated clone of Diaspora. When GPlus opened, I immediately knew how to use it because I already used #Diaspora.

    Unfortunately, D*'s development stagnated once its focus on confining posts to a selected audience was no longer unique.

    Honestly, I would prefer to use #Diaspora over the "15 columns" Fediverse server, but whenever I log into my D* account, almost all my contacts have been silent for years and my stream is full of posts from newsbots squatting on the tags I've subscribed to. Whenever there is a real post, it is usually some political thing, rather than something I actually want to see.

    (No, simple mode does not fix most of the irritations of the multi-column interface. Though now that I've seen #Twitter's multi-column UI, I can see why people use it.)

    Also, what bozo decided years later that Diaspora (at least the JD instance) should start sending notifications and e-mails about people's birthdays? I believe that most of the people that joined early on joined specifically because they did not want their personal information dispersed unnecessarily. IMO, this is a violation of their trust. (Maybe this should be *opt-in* ... if you want your contacts to be notified of your important days such as birthdays and holidays, click a box to enable it.)

    I remember #makr.io. Within days after it was announced, I requested an account, found it dissatisfying, closed my account. In many ways, I thought it would have been better as "makrcities", without any (known) relationship to #Diaspora.
    .
    I later felt bad about how negative my reaction had been. They tried hard to shed the unsatisfiable demands of D*'s users, but those same users were their original userbase, and thus really critical of the site's centralization.

    Whenever JD sends one of those “$NAME has a birthday today” messages, I think about finally closing the account. Between nearly all my contacts having abandoned #Diaspora years ago and tons of #newsbots posting article links in any #hashtag I have subscribed to, the content is mostly undesirable.

    @dude Hmm. This complicates the plan to add a #Pleroma instance for !FNetworks before we upgrade to !gnusocial 2.0. I'm not really interested in hosting incompatible services (one reason why planned #Diaspora and #Pump.io instances were abandoned).

    @geniusmusing At the time, there were still contacts that were active #Diaspora users, including @sean and this guy named Mark who was always talking about how #MaidSafe ( or as I usually call it, #MaidenSavers ) was going to rescue Internet users from big corporations’ and governments’ evil online practices. And JPope, who I met in person, the person who inspired me to first rent a VPS and set up a self-hosted StatusNet instance.

    I've been trying to read my #Diaspora timeline more frequently. I immediately noticed that it seems that none of my old contacts post anymore, but because of "followed tags" I get lots and lots of posts which are just an excerpt of an article followed by a link (and often, they don't even go to the original article's site; take https://www.sciencealert.com/a-tech-expert-says-we-should-stop-using-google-chrome for example). These posts are almost entirely uninteresting to me.

    I've had the account on JD for a long time, but if I close it, it may free up some resources for another user. I'm really considering it, for the first time.

    @trev The #Diaspora team did something like that on multiple sites. They got lots of requests and suggestions, but as you noted, the real need is developers. Eventually, the requesters feel ignored and leave for #corpocentric platforms. Or they propose hostile forks without enough devs to make their efforts viable.
