Always an interesting experience: While positive feedback is very much welcome and shared around, it seems hard to impossible to, on the #Fediverse, get discussions started on flaws or shortcomings that might need or benefit from improvement beyond individual instances or pieces of software. Not really "bad" after reaching a certain point of acceptance, but still feels weird and more than just a bit unwelcoming in many ways.

For me it came down to the user interface. Simplicity above all, at least for me, and uncluttered with features I wouldn't even use anyway. Like cross-posting to proprietary platforms, that sort of stuff.

I tried several of the "fediverse" platforms and ran into complexity and clutter and about gave up on it until I found #diaspora. The user interface is easy, simple, and clean. I can do "groups" using #Aspects (categories of contacts I share with) as easily as I used to do with Fakebook.

Long may diaspora live - but I'm not optimistic about that, and if/when it "dies," I'll probably not bother with the others.

I'm actually on Friendica because it allows me to stay in touch with Diaspora friends too. But I feel you. And a lot of things throughout the Fediverse unfortunately are cluttered and could be way better with just little polish, but its really really hard to achieve especially if you're not a developer or designer and all resources at hand are ... limited.
