My limited understanding is -

1. Mastadon is similar to twitter.

2. Diaspora is similar to Facebook.

Both are distributed and work in a decentralized manner. However, if your fee fees feel to bad, you can block an entire server to keep your users from viewing the entire verse. It's pretty ingenious. There are currently some kind of fights going on between the #awoo people and I think the French or something but I can't read it all.

It's like a little federated community of foreign language filled hate.

How is Mastodon different from Diaspora, or for that matter the myriad of other, small, social networks not named Facebook or Google+?
