    when i joined facebook very few people i knew were on it, give it a few days to a week and after your network sends round invites it will be better

    I really doubt it tbh. As the man said, most people (myself included) aren't arsed 'starting over'. I don't see any good reason to sign up currently. Like a lot of people, I won't switch unless everyone else is doing likewise and completely abandoning their fb activity. Maybe that'll happen, who knows.

    So you think that having a preference for a social network, based on actual activity by your social network is stupid?

    https://ello.co/wtf/post/founders
    Ello was originally built by a group of seven well-known artists and programmers as a private social network. Over time, so many people wanted to use Ello that our servers were overwhelmed. We built a public version of Ello for everyone to use.

    so art project with no more than seven programmers , yeah your data is safe and secure...


    Meanwhile I haven't heard much from https://joindiaspora.com/ lately

    but it is open source and distributed -

    Unless they are able to work off a wikipedia model of depending on voluntary donations, they will have to monetise the site eventually.
    Anybody who thinks otherwise is delusional.

    There's a ferocious whack of deluded hipster off this.

    They'll burn their way through a rake of VC money before either having to adopt a monetisation strategy or die without a sound

    Apparently the website is powered by bearded, fedora wearing men in jeans shorts on fixie bikes so they save a tonne on utility bills.

    They've no shortage of them in annyways. I hope it actually works out though, I'd rather my social network be ruled by bearded hipsters than that pie faced, wall eyed bollix zuckerberg

    Insulting people by calling them sheep for not blindly following the current trend that you're blindly following is hardly going to win anyone over.

    well they could try to avoid funding by trying a peer to peer model like diaspora , but that didn't take off and it's got way more support in the open source community

    TBH if they wan't a snowballs chance of getting this up and running then they have to prove they are better than diaspora and that just isn't going to happen
