#2I think it's a bit weird that instead of using this to promote their values (Decentralization, Freedom, Privacy as mentioned on their landing page [0]) they are essentially pressuring pod admins to take down the content.
I know they could just setup their own Pod but these values are what makes them any different from the likes of Twitter and I would've expected them to stand by them a bit more.

#3"It's absolutely inevitable that organisations like IS are going to be among the early adopters of this sort of innovation."
That would have been a great quote to have on the crowdfunding page.

#4Maybe Diaspora will finally take off now that the other social networks will begin to get heavily censored.
I for one would like Twister to take off as alternative to Twitter:
EDIT: It also seems to be compatible with Tor now:

They gave people the power to post really offensive and harmful things, but that doesn't mean they have to be happy when it happens.

The more trouble they have taking down IS content, the safer I know my pod is.

#7Isn't that kind of what it was created for? They had to know from the start that not all the people and groups who used it would have noble intentions.

#8Sometimes it seems like people are more upset about the words of killers than the fact that they go around killing people.

#9This is like saying "E-Mail cannot stop X mails" or "XMPP cannot stop X chats", which is pretty obvious. The whole point of a decentralized service like Diaspora is that it can't be completely censored. Internet providers could partially block the access to pods that don't censor this kind of content, but then they could setup their own Diaspora pod in a Tor hidden services...

In this case, I think it has more to do with the spreading a message that has recruitment as one of its aims. In the US, the freedom of speech doesn't apply if you are, for example, spreading a message that says, "You all need to kill [ethnic group]."
