Archive and Index Post

I'll be using this particular post to link to content from both this and my earlier Joindiaspora.com account which IMO is particularly notable. That will largely be in the form of replies to the maiin post.

Any other replies or discussions may and will be removed at my sole discretion

The intent is for this to be a useful archive rather than a discussion, though if there's a sufficient interest in discussing specific comemnts or threads, I may create a separate discussion post for that purpose and direct others to it.

This is all an attempt to work around several limitations of Diaspora generally:

• Painfully-slow and fragile scrolling through historical content.
• Lack of any meaningful search. Hashtag search is the only mechanism, there is no full-text search.
• Lack of pinned posts.
• Awkwardness of stuffing such a listing into a profile bio. (I did this on Joindiaspora, it's ... useful but quite ugly).
• Inability to retroactively edit posts once they've been submitted.
• Lack of original Web URLs within the exported Diaspora profile data JSON structure.
• Opacity of most Diaspora instances to third-party general Web search (e.g., Bing/DDG, Google, and others).

An out-of-band archive is of course possible. That's not yet been something I've cared to do.
