Grateful that I found this Friendica place because Diaspora is getting highly polluted with Russ disinfoniks via sysad.org blather. Whatever the Fediverse did with Natural News needs to happen with Sysad. Seriously.
The fediverse didn't do anything with Natural News. Their server went away. I don't know the details of that ... whoever was running it probably just ran out of money or something like that.
Friendica is, for better or worse, connected just like any diaspora pod.
On the Mastodon side of things, things are more disorganized and confusing due to the common practice of pod blocking. Basically, this means that you just never know whether you'll even be able to follow or be followed by someone else on another pod, much less see replies and stuff. It's one reason why it's common to have separate Mastodon accounts on multiple different pods. It's a different way of doing things.
Well, that explains a lot. Thanks for the explanation, Isaac. At any rate, sysad.org is tne new naturalnews only more pro-Russian bullshit, so heads up on that in any case.
