Diaspora still exists, is an active project, and has users. Its problem isn't getting developers and pod operators, it's that people use social networks because their friends are there, and unless your friends are tinfoil hats and hackers your friends are probably not using Diaspora. And I'm not sure your friends have any reason to trust J. Random Hacker more than Facebook. I do, because that's my community, but if all you know about it is Silicon Valley and Salon articles about "brogrammers" I could see not having much confidence.
