Save poddery.com - A community run and decentralized Social Network, as opposed to Corporate or Government controlled and centralized services like Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Diaspora* is a Social Networking service that doesn't spy on its users, and we need your help to continue running
Social Network users are stepping up to run their own communication infrastructure, because they value their privacy and they cannot trust the big companies and governments to give it, unless they stand up and do something. Join this community to protect online privacy.
I don't see much improvement going on Diaspora's side. I'm with "Own your data" concept but Diaspora has failed to stand upto its promises where as Friendica surpassed every other federated concepts and works out of the box. the developer even went ahead with developing new platform called Red learning from mistakes in Friendica.
Friendica federates well and uses well defined zot protocol so any one wanting to write extension to other services can easily do that. It federates with statusnet and even with propreitary platforms and it can do a lot of more cool stuffs including authenticated zrl's (Zot url's) which will allow only authenticated user to access posts. On the other hand what does Diaspora do other than having nice UX?
People have already invested in Diaspora once but it didn't do very well why do you think people need to invest again? May be providing some strong points other than simply saying "online privacy" will help people to see if its really worth contributing again.

copyninja, I have nothing against friendica, please promote it on its own merit. There were problems with diaspora development community, but we have sorted it out and now diaspora is a completely community run project. How do you say it didn't do well? Yes, we could have done more, but that doesn't undermine how much we already have done. We are not looking at people already using friendica to use diaspora, but to people who are using neither to start using either. Friendica and Diaspora are in the same team, if you like friendica, more power to you, we don't want to pull you to diaspora. We want everyone to move to any decentralized network, be it friendica, diaspora, gnu social or pump.io.
If poddery.com, one of the oldest and well known Diaspora pods, is closed down, it will have a huge negative on the wholde Diaspora ideology. So let's not let it happen.
Even if you are not able to contribute in the form of money, please share the word around.
