RE: Mastodon

When you say “you can block an entire server” do you mean the local cluster
admin, or individual users? Seems like it would be ripe for abuse if your
local cluster admin decided he had a vendetta against a group of people.

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+?
