znaji··on Diaspora: Hello and a big welcome to everyone arriving from Google+

There is no free speech in Germany, so chances are that someone will say something on Diaspora that the government of Germany won't like. Then, if the owner of Diaspora refuses to delete the "illegal" post, he will be thrown in jail, so he doesn't really have a chance not to censor whatever the government forces him to censor.

What's the stance of Diaspora on free speech?

Edit: I guess it's horrible, since the owner is based in Germany. Ouch.

I'd say most Linux installations today are Android mobiles. Do those have Minix too?

I agree with this. It is likely that something else would've filled the void. Maybe something much better. Maybe we're missing on a lot because Linux popped up :)
