Diaspora has not failed. It just never lived up to the impossible hype of being a "Facebook killer." It just released a new version: https://blog.diasporafoundation.org/7-diaspora-version-0-4-1-0-released It has over 1 million users and many pods: http://pods.jasonrobinson.me/ ("Pods" being individual installations of Diaspora on Web servers). It's premature to write off Diaspora, or n-1, or GNU Social (see Quitter.se), or many of the other very good social media alternatives. In addition, there's exciting new ones like Twister (http://twister.net.co/). - Rob Robert W.
