Poked at Diaspora. Looks interesting, but I'm skeptical about ease of use vs security. Massively skeptical.
We'll just have to see what happens in a few months time. :-) I'll be happy to go there and try it out.
I think the story with Facebook is actually that the people who are making noises about privacy do sometimes leave, but the vast majority on Facebook I suspect simply accept that anything on Facebook is public information.
The whole point of it is to be a gossip system, and privacy and security really just gets in the way of that.
