diaspora* catchphrase

F Flaburgan Public Seen by 32

I'd like to find a catchphrase / subtitle for diaspora*. I need it to replace "Hey, make something" on the registration page (see #5389) but it can also be used everywhere else where we promote diaspora*.

Here are the choices I though about:

  • From diasporafoundation.org: The online social world where you are in control
  • From diasporafoundation.org: Decentralization. Freedom. Privacy. (I would have ordered that differently)
  • An old catchphrase: Share what you want with whom you want
  • An old catchphrase: The social network where you are in control.

Any preference, other idea?

I'd like to rephrase the decentralized part. Something like "made for and driven by us people", or "bringing people and their cat-pics closer together". Just to get some reference to the mail-like pod structure.

Oh I don't know, it's just a weird way to express diaspora as if it can replace a home and that it's very off topic somehow?

Not really. At the beginning, social network were ment to be a place were you share very personnal things with your friends. It's like an extension of yourself. It should be like you home.

The fact that FB violates this privacy to literally sell you to big compagny makes that it's not your home anymore.

diaspora* is meant to be like your second home in this case. A safe place were your can meet your friends.

I get your point. But if a big university or similar would use the same slogan I'd still feel a bit odd. Sure, diaspora is meant to be able to let you communicate safely and with whom you want, but also for public and far away communication, work, interest groups and other cases. But maybe you're right, it might just be my impression :)
