If you use a social network such as Facebook and haven’t looked at Diaspora yet, you should have clicked that link and never read this far. Diaspora is open source social network software designed to allow users to share information while protecting their privacy.
There are a couple of ways to try Diaspora. The easiest way is to know someone already on the network who can invite you. If you don’t know anyone with invites to give away, you can head over to the Diaspora website and sign up to get an invitation.
Diaspora will get better as more people learn about it; so I want to do my part to spread the word. I’ve created a button to put in my blog’s sidebar and a few more to place elsewhere. Here they are:
With all this greyscale, I figured it would be a good idea to throw in some color.
A couple of things to note:
- I’m no graphics designer.
- I’m not using the official Diaspora font in these. It’s close, but not exact. I hope to get my hands on an SVG of the official logo and redo these buttons correctly.
These are better than nothing, but there is certainly room for improvement. Feel free to leave your constructive criticism in the comments section below. If you have any ideas for slogans, please leave those as well.
I’ve packed these PNGs and their source SVGs in a zip file here.

Or you can sign up to another POD, like diasp.org, where you don’t need invitations.
Great work man and don’t be so worried about not matching the Diaspora font so exactly, have a little artistic license. There’s no reason everything has to be the same so long as the message gets out.
