Trying out #diaspora and I'm wondering what the people in the #ActivityPub corner of the #fediverse currently think of it.
Personally I'm struggling to see what niche it would fill for me. The current features don't seem all that different from #mastodon and if I wanted something less birdsite-like wouldn't #friendica be the obvious choice since it federates with both? What am I missing?

@b6hydra I think all of your options are subtly different. Even QOTO isnt the same from other mastodon instances in many ways. I'm not sure there is a huge argument for any one of them unless you are looking for something very specific.
The real question is, what do **you** want to get out of your social media?
@b6hydra In that case I'd say, the choice of server/platform wont matter all that much. Just pick moderation rules that suite the community you want to be part of.
@freemo
Makes sense. That's how I ended up on qoto so I guess I'll play around and see what I like. Thanks 👍
@b6hydra Anytime, hope you enjoy where you end up.

I don't really have anything too specific I need. I don't create specific content or accumulate tons of followers in general. The mainstream platforms, except maybe for reddit, never really strongly appealed to me. I view content on them but I don't interact, so clone or not isn't a huge factor. Also god forbid I feed the algorithm just because I have interests and opinions... So I initially came to mastodon to be, well, social.
