I am now all the things that I was when Identi.ca used StatusNet, plus a little more.
I'm trying out Diaspora and looking at Frendica and it hits me that cross-posting is not the entire solution to the fragmenting social web, cross-receiving is essential.
I don't want to post to Twitter or Facebook or Google+ I want to post my thoughts to an open source, federated, platform, but, I do want to read what others post to all of the various other social networks. Preferably without having to have to login to all (or even have an account any) of them.
How to do that? There's an exercise left to the reader. I'm still thinking it through. Obviously you could create mirror accounts on your chosen social network that scrape content from the other networks and feed them into yours, but how you could reply? Do they need to mutually cross-recieve you? How could you send a private message? Twitter and Facebook killing RSS makes things difficult too.

I'd been wishing there was a way to consolidate my many different social network accounts and really this would be the solution.
That's why ~friendica implemented OStatus and Diaspora* as additional protocols, sadly nobody else cares about federation between systems, everyone just goes decentral ;-)Tobias Diekershoff at 2013-09-18T14:21:51Z

Tobias Diekershoff Yes and I want to help change that. I think Frendica's implementations might be a good place to start looking for a solution.

@zoowar by exclusive features, I mean features that bring public, decentralized features that no nonfree sw would contemplate.hellekin at 2013-02-20T02:32:54+00:00
