Diaspora is a federated social network released in 2010. It uses a server to server federation protocol, and is compatible with Friendica and Hubzilla.

Diaspora [has not integrated with ActivityPub](https://discourse.diasporafoundation.org/t/lets-talk-about-activitypub/741). A Diaspora developer [reasoned](https://schub.wtf/blog/2018/02/01/activitypub-one-protocol-to-rule-them-all.html) that although ActivityPub tried to make an extensible protocol that could work for everything, it still did not cover some Diaspora use cases. A stricter specification that could be expand definitions as use cases were offered would be better for ensuring interoperability, in his opinion.

Posts are created in any "topic", without requiring a subreddit for a topic to be created beforehand. "Spaces" are more like subreddits, and can accept or block content, but they do not affect the original posts in the topics. A given topic can have multiple spaces which curate and moderate differently. The automated rules for how spaces filter posts can be publicly inspected.

Users can flag content they find objectionable, but they [cannot block other users](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/382), due to the potential for abuse of the block feature in a system that monetizes upvotes. For example, a user might block users with high reputation who might downvote them, so they could upvote their own posts within a circle of participating accounts.
