I've been trying to read my #Diaspora timeline more frequently. I immediately noticed that it seems that none of my old contacts post anymore, but because of "followed tags" I get lots and lots of posts which are just an excerpt of an article followed by a link (and often, they don't even go to the original article's site; take https://www.sciencealert.com/a-tech-expert-says-we-should-stop-using-google-chrome for example). These posts are almost entirely uninteresting to me.
I've had the account on JD for a long time, but if I close it, it may free up some resources for another user. I'm really considering it, for the first time.

Right after I posted I checked and https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/joindiaspora.com the JD site is down.

@geniusmusing At the time, there were still contacts that were active #Diaspora users, including @sean and this guy named Mark who was always talking about how #MaidSafe ( or as I usually call it, #MaidenSavers ) was going to rescue Internet users from big corporations’ and governments’ evil online practices. And JPope, who I met in person, the person who inspired me to first rent a VPS and set up a self-hosted StatusNet instance.
