I'm so happy to see this release, especially with the codebase cleaning. The diaspora* protocol is now rock-solid (see https://blog.diasporafoundation.org/43-our-federation-protocol-just-go… ) that means the federated social web is now free and can extend!

The article you linked to in your note 0 is from two months ago, not two years ago. Diaspora is in YC's Summer 2012 class.[1] The homepage is probably not listed as a duplicate because it is no longer in the server's RAM. [2] A simple search finds multiple discussions on the project.
