Please consider keeping sensitive information such as this behind a portal. Oauth can be used to allow verified users to authenticate through their fediverse account for access.

As things currently stand, the resource you've created with good intentions is currently fair game for Mossad to use in profiling.

Diaspora is a decentralized, open-source social network focused on privacy and user control.

No central authority, no data mining , you choose where your data lives and who sees it.

A solid alternative to mainstream social platforms if you want freedom and ownership.

Screenshot of a Diaspora* social media post. The interface shows a dark sidebar with navigation links, and a main feed. Featured post by “diaspora* HQ” from 12 days ago: “Ohai folks! … here is a quick #diaspora poll.” The poll asks: “Do you use the external service integration to publish your post to services like Wordpress or Tumblr?” Below, 13 Likes, 13 Reshares. Comments include: Esky (“I’ve never used any of those services”), Freezr (“It is a shame the best social media platform has been struggling so much… wonder if a third server able to translate calls from Diaspora Protocol to AP…”), and Wolfgang Strobl (“AFAIK that translation to the AP protocol is done on the other side.”).

hi peeps <3 Running a small fundraiser to keep altbot and fuzzies.wtf alive and healthy!

my server storage hit 100% full and took down basically everything. i got it fixed, but it's clear i need more drives before it happens again.

altbot is free, open source, and runs 24/7 generating alt text for anyone on the fediverse who needs it. it's real accessibility infrastructure and i want to keep free.

goal is $500 for a set of used (and tested for good health) enterprise drives off ebay. every little bit helps get there!
