I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?

    The Diaspora protocol is way better than it used to be, but it can’t do half of what ActivityPub can do. Historically, Diaspora’s protocol has basically been little more than OStatus with different threading behavior, some addressing modifications, and magic envelope encryption bolted on.

        I’ve read denschub’s positions in the past, and fundamentally disagree with him. While he raises a lot of interesting points in his writings on the subject, most of the limitations described have been largely overcome.

        Unfortunately, he makes up a significant part of the current core team, and seems to default to hostilities any time the subject is breached.

          Yea I was rather surprised by this myself. I somehow came across a thread of his where he was outright rage “I told you so” criticising AP/Fedi over the lack of interoperability between lemmy and masto. And while I’m quite sympathetic to the critique in general, it was rather telling, I thought, to see him spend so much energy describing all the “bad things” of a protocol/ecosystem he’s not developing on.
