I think what the developers were saying was that they have no control
over what is on each individual server,   as its de-centralised (which
is the whole point)

One way to counter this is to highlight how diaspora is being used for
GOOD things,  free software projects,  maybe some sort of humanitarian
project, so shift the focus away.

The same goes for file sharing sites, sure people share copyrighted
material BUT you can equally share things like ios files for Linux
distributions or other free content.

So if anyone is using things like this for positive purposes lets all
share this,  any post made to the dcgug blog gets auto shared on the
twitter page @dcglug

The press will pick up on anything that is negative , so it is up to the
community to spread positive stories.

I was more interested in the security it seemed to offer - the complaints seemed to be largely about how groups can communicate relatively freely.
