Help us to keep running the services in poddery.com (diaspora, matrix, xmpp).
Poddery was one of the the earliest diaspora social networking host that was launched by Joe Bivins. Now we are running the service for past 6 years. We added Matrix and XMPP services using same username and password in past years. We are trying to run alternatives to Facebook, Whatsapp, Google chat with privacy protection. Our sole purpose is to run the services for communication so we won't monetize your data like big corporates do.
Since June 30th 2013 we are running the diaspora service at poddery.com, now close to 6 years. We saved this service around 6 years back when it was about to close down. See save.poddery.com and igg.me/at/save-poddery-2 for our last two campaigns.
Your funding will help us continue to upgrade and maintain these privacy aware free software alternatives to Facebook, Whatsapp or Google Hangouts. It puts you in control of your own data and privacy. The funding will also cover the additional infrastructure costs (Storage expansions, Network Bandwidth upgrade) in addition to server cost for a period of 2 years.

Diaspora is a culture. A culture against the loss of personal privacy by the corporate social network giants. Diaspora enables you to keep your data with you and provides the flexibility to choose what you share. Since your data is stored on your own computer and not a single company's servers you are in control of your data.
Diaspora, being a distributed system, is actually a network of multiple instances of the software Diaspora. These instances are called pods. You can think of it like a mobile service provider or an email provider. You can chose to have diaspora account from any of these accounts from podupti.me or you can choose poddery to be your diaspora host.
Matrix is a decentralised instant messenger which supports end to end encryption and file sharing. You can connect with your friends and communities here.
Matrix by default allows you to integrate with IRC and other communication medias. Riot is a client side application with slack like interface and with markdown support.
Poddery supports chatting among your contacts in Diaspora and anybody with an account on a service supporting XMPP. You need to enable chat on your Poddery account to make use of it. See this tutorial for help. There are various chat clients available for your PC, tablet or phone.
