#diaspora hint. If you go to the sidebar on the left and add #newhere as one of your followed tags, you'll see all of the new G+ refugees as they arrive.
Note that you cannot edit pluspora posts or comments after they're submitted, so you can't go add that hashtag later. The inability to edit stuff makes it an absolute no-go for me :(. That's fine for microblogging, but not for a central social media presence.
Schiwi M diaspora is a group of servers called pods hosting social media platforms. Anyone can create their own pod. Pluspora is a diaspora pod created by some plussers for a new home now that Google+ is sunsetting. Pods can talk to each other so you can follow people on other servers.
New comments on this blog are moderated. If you do not have a Google identity, you are welcome to post anonymously. Your comments will appear here after they have been reviewed. Comments with vulgarity will be rejected.
Good pro tip
ReplyDeleteAnd remember to use uppercase letter to disambiguate. #NewHere vs. #NeWhere (which, obviously is funnier with the pen is mightier than....)
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Diaspora
ReplyDeleteIt's a distributed social network that's getting a lot of G+ refugees. A popular "pod" (diaspora server) right now is https://pluspora.com

ReplyDeleteStephan Beal Good point.

How does diaspora work and why is it called pluspora?
ReplyDeleteSchiwi M Pluspora is a "pod", or subset, of Diaspora, which is a tool, not a social medium in itself.
ReplyDeleteIf I understood correctly...
With different decentralized servers like Discord?

Samuel Smith One correct, they created the diaspora pod "pluspora" before there was an announcement. It wasn't a reaction to the announcement.
ReplyDeleteI think this is important because of intent issues.
John Lewis thanks for the correction. Looks like Pluspora has been active at least a month or so, maybe longer.
