I searched and somehow we never talked about this on ttf? that open source distributed social network thing, diaspora. it's kind of janky (web chat interface only works on a few pages and disconnects you if you navigate to anyone's profile, no support for events, installing requires like 8 billion ruby things).
I have a pod running at
https://legends.im if anyone wants to check it out. or join another pod and friend me (brian@legends.im).
I'm not sure if I'll actually use it much but it's kinda neat.
> I never used it and I shut the vps down.
That's pretty much all of Diaspora summed up, I believe.
