As I said before, my only interaction with them is an email I sent them a
while ago (more than a year ago), advising them to seize the opportunity to
create a p2p framework for social applications to be built on top on, taking
care of permissions, friendlists, authentication, etc under the hood to allow
developers to build the fun stuff on top of that.

The response I got, six months later, was to the effect of a brief "thank you
for your email, answers to some of your questions can be found in the FAQ".

I think you are being way too harsh here. They obviously get a lot of emails,
and they're being pulled in a lot of different directions ("distributed social
networking!", "privacy!", "a drop-in facebook replacement!")

Maybe they won't amount to much, but criticising them because they didn't
respond to your email is not fair.

I'm not criticising the project, just detailing my account. I just wish they
actually read my email, at least...

What an abstract collection of words. This post doesn't contain a single
tangible sentence.

"We are working on an outline of what we have learnt so far, and where we see
Diaspora going in the next year."

They should take a look at how BitTorrent is trying to build a P2P social
network. Maybe they could get a few ideas from there and implement them. I'd
like to see a social network where a true "global" community can be formed,
and by that I don't mean only having people from everywhere, but also having
people and communities that don't answer to any one Government, at least
related to what they post in that social network. I'd like to see a social
network that would make revolutions even easier, and even allow the Chinese to
make one if they want to, and for that it needs to be very safe and very
decentralized so it can't be stopped.
