After more than three years of not using #Diaspora, I decided to make it kinda sorta official:

I feel Diaspora developers are being difficult about implementing #ActivityPub, which they could do for public posts and private messages.
I remember Diaspora being the biggest FLOSS social network and being somewhat smug about it, especially in any interoperability discussions. It's interesting to see the tables turned nowadays...
Still, hoping beyond hope they change tack.
