I earned a test version of the social network Diaspora (anti-Facebook)

The developers of the Diaspora social network, which is positioned as "anti-Facebook", announced the launch of an alpha version of the resource. Previously, it was possible to leave a request on the website of this social network, which worked before the launch of the main resource. The developers sent invitations to all who wish to familiarize themselves with the work of the new social network. So now all interested parties can see the system at work.

It is worth noting that the web has already received feedback on the work of this social network. So, some experts have already rated this social network as quite workable and high-quality. At the same time, it is stated that there are no new functions in Diaspora, and in fact it was previously stated several times that this social network will be a “revolution” in the world of social networks.

In fact, Diaspora is a cross between the notorious Facebook and microblogging service Twitter. At the same time, new messages from users do not appear in the general news feed, but are divided into so-called “aspects”. The latter are communities divided by subject, of which “Work”, “Friends” and “Family” are now represented. A post published by a user of a new social network can immediately send in several such “aspects”.

It is worth noting that previously the developers of Diaspora have repeatedly stated their intention to revise the security system of social networks. The main principle of operation of Diaspora is to store user data not in the “cloud”, not on the company's remote servers, but on the users' personal computers. This data is repeatedly encrypted, so it will be very difficult for hackers to access any data.

An interesting point is the fact that Diaspora has integration with Facebook and Twitter, the security system of which has been repeatedly criticized by the initiators of the Diaspora project. Now any Diaspora user can post on Twitter and Facebook, in addition to the selected “aspects”.

Diaspora was created with the financial support of sympathizers with the project, and one of the payments, in the amount of 10 thousand dollars, was provided by the head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.
