What's the stance of Diaspora on free speech? Edit: I guess it's horrible, since the owner is based in Germany. Ouch.

What does it have to do with living in Germany?

I live in Berlin and we have the most vibrant community of privacy, security etc I've ever seen.

I am not happy with these new services because they are all hosted in the EU where there is no right to free speech, so to me they are not an improvement over what they are supposed to replace.

Isn't the point of Diaspora that you can take a copy of the software and install it anywhere you like?

You probably wan to look at Voat, then. It's the go-to home for white supremacists and people who really dislike fat people, but it provides you with a free-speech zone, if that's your thing.
