Welcome Post and invites to Diaspora

[dragonfly]

As it says in the comm's profile, this is a place to discuss Diaspora. That's about it.

All I know so far is Diaspora seems to have been dreamed up by a few NYU students who didn't like Facebook's policies. I don't know how or if GooglePlus's debut has affected them or their plans, but since GooglePlus isn't going to allow us effective control of our identities and our content's exposure, either, I assume Diaspora's plans are still in place. They are in an alpha release.

I can send you an invite if you leave me an email. Comments here are therefore pre-screened.

EDIT: Or! Apparently I am provided with a link that gives out invites from my account. I have 524 invites left on this code, so please go for it if you want one:

You already have a pod? Then do you want an invite from me? I'll be happy to send you one, just PM me your email address.

yeah, sorry for being confusing:

- I have an account I've basically not touched on https://poddery.com/ , BUT, they don't seem to appear on http://podupti.me/ anymore, and because of that I don't know if they've updated diaspora recently, nor do I know where I'd check what version is being run there

- I've been trying to get diaspora running (a recent version) on my own machine to compare, but am not having much luck :\

What pod are you on?

Honestly, I can't remember which pod I'm on, and don't entirely understand the model, yet. I just login at diasp.org. My login, though I haven't used it in months, still works, so if they did an update, my account wasn't affected. I clearly can still send invites.

Oh, Duh. I guess that is my pod. Diasp.org.
