  History of Diaspora Diaspora is a social network created by people like you.  In 2010, a few young programmers from NYU’s Courant Institute announced to the world that they wanted to create a new, safer, more privacy-aware social network.  They said they would need $10,000 to accomplish the task and instead, 6,479 people like you pledged $200,641.  Since then, the young programmers along with many volunteers from around the world have been working to create the next generation of Social Networks to allow you to socialize on the internet more safely.

  • Like | Unlike    
    A like button or like option is a feature in communication software such as social networking services, Internet forums and blogs where the user can express that they like, enjoy or support a certain content.  Internet services that feature like buttons usually display the quantity of users that liked each content, and may show a full or partial list of them.  This is a quantitative alternative to other methods of expressing reaction to content, like writing a reply text.
