That is very sad news to hear. I'm a free software advocate, that is “free†as in freedom. I very much enjoyed going to libertypod.org in order use social media in a system that I knew respected my freedom. You facilitated a way for me and others to use a network run by volunteers and members of our community. You and others actually cared about free speech and refused to allow all social life on the Internet to be turned into a commodity bought and sold from one master to another. You were not interested in impressing shareholders and you were not interested in the surveillance of your users for money. Instead you were interested in an alternative way we could share ideas outside the control and risk of centralized censorship systems. You were interested in fighting the horrors of the tech society that is being created without privacy and freedom in it. I saw things I was sure Facebook administrators would have deleted and I rejoiced in the fact we were so free that these things were not censored at a whim. I am grateful to have been a part of this great community, made to increase the control of users over social networks. While I am unsure if I will join another pod, use another network like gnusocial or something else I still wanted to thank you Seth, for all the work that you have done to make this possible.

Kris, if you like also open source and not just free Stallman software , Hubzilla is a fantastic option, a wonderful tool, much different from diaspora gnusocial etc ...
Kris, while you're here at lastauth.com, a Hubzilla website, try visiting https://lastauth.com/settings/featured and enable the diaspora protocol so you can communicate with people on diaspora pods. We also have a GNUsocial federation plugin as well. Give it a try, see what you think.
