>There is no free speech in Germany You might want to read Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
I'm sure somewhere in the Chinese constitution it says Chinese citizens have a right to free speech too :-) There is no practical right to free speech in the EU, this happened a few weeks ago: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6316567/Woman-corre...
The most successful decentralized communication system - email as it turned out, people would concentrated to large free provider like Google. Decentralized server does not protect privacy for normal user because not most people could handle owning their server. The most success decentralized service is BitTorrent. It is decentralized and it is decentralized in client level. Though it also caused uncontrollable pirac…
I fully agree. The problem is that it's even harder to design something that is fully p2p than something federated. (One thing that tries to be exactly what you want would be https://secushare.org/ But its in a very very early stage, right now. There exist others, though.) And you have to agree that (even if most people choose the biggest provider) simply having the choice of different providers or even being your ow…

BTW, the decision you linked to is about Austria, not the EU. The ECHR merely held that Austria is allowed (not required) to ban certain kinds of speech. Other Council of Europe member states are free to permit them.
How does Diaspora compare to Mastodon? My naive impression is that Mastodon is a decentralized Twitter clone and Diaspora tries to be a nonprofit Facebook. Is that correct?
Mastodon is when you can't handle any one having an alternative option than you, so you log on to a twitter clone where you are the only person using it and are always right.
For a website called JoinDiaspora, I'm surprised I can't find out how to join Diaspora from the homepage.

I have some former G+ friends who went to MeWe, some to Mastodon, and some to Twitter. I found Diaspora a pretty poor experience last time I was there, so I'm not really following the group that ended up there
Frankly Google+'s circles seemed like the perfect solution by giving you explicit control over who sees what and further letting you tailor what you post to each circle.
Although I'm sorry to see it go at the end I only used G+ to keep in touch with fellow Ingress players. Between the fact that my Diaspora experience was similar to yours, slack is the go to for my tech interaction with k8s users and discord for gamers I'm not sure I really need another time waster anyway. I can't help but think some portion of the population will like me choose to replace Google+ with nothing at all.
But I'm really happy to see that more and more people are joining federated solutions better than proprietary centralized ones like Google+ :)

Diaspora has been a comedy of such errors for the decade it's existed.
I think I had a Diaspora account in like 2011... Then they announced they were blowing away everyone's account to redesign the database or something... Never bothered with it again.
