To all users of diaspora.happeningin.eu and connected pods,
We are going on strike on the January 18th, to protest against the Internet Censorship Bill (SOPA).
On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill – PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House – to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit’s lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day.
As most major services are located in the US, we are supporting the protest from Europe as well.
There will be NO service of any kind on diaspora.happeningin.eu until the January 19th.
A new feature is now live at the Diaspora* pod diaspora.happeningin.eu:
Who to follow (Recent Posters)
As the pod lifted the limitations on commenting to everyone comment everything, public is public and you need not add/follow the user to join in or like the discussion/subject.
Just to note that todays websocket patch was not applied on diaspora.happeningin.eu, and I am not applying all patches as they come anymore – I am individually and manually applying and merging patches from various sources, specially Pistos branches, plus the self programmed features like the one above.
Main focus at the moment is on interpod communication, and I will be applying Pistos patches for Groups next.
Few updates for the Diaspora* hosted at diaspora.happeningin.eu: I have merged most of the current Pistos patches into the happeningin branch, plus a few features programmed by me from scratch, and new server settings that made it faster, more stable, and more public for public content.
One more sidebar item in alpha testing on diaspora.happeningin.eu, Recent Public Posts. It basically shows the most commented items atm, so you can join in the conversation.
As the pod lifted the limitations on commenting to everyone comment everything, public is public and you need not add/follow the user to join in or like the discussion/subject.
The server is also synced with the official Diaspora* repository, so any patches made there will be also added to the custom happeningin branch.
