It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

@mike It's actually pretty amazing that a Europe based product & team (with all its "restrictive", aka human rights based, legislation) has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest US for-profit social networks.

That bodes well for the future of mediated social interactions and is a strong signal sent to Silicon Valley.
