Remove Diaspora account
Diaspora (currently styled diaspora* and formerly styled DIASPORA*) is a nonprofit, user-owned, distributed social network that is based upon the free Diaspora software. Diaspora consists of a group of independently owned nodes (called pods) which interoperate to form the network. As of March 2014, there are more than 1 million Diaspora accounts.
The social network is not owned by any one person or entity, keeping it from being subject to corporate take-overs or advertising. In September 2011 the developers stated, "...our distributed design means no big corporation will ever control Diaspora. Diaspora* will never sell your social life to advertisers, and you won’t have to conform to someone’s arbitrary rules or look over your shoulder before you speak
How to delete your Diaspora Project account
Use the direct link to 'close' your account, which unfortunately
means some data will remain publicly visible, and other will linger
around in their database. This remains somewhat unclear. Judge for
yourself:
We delete all of your posts, profile data, as soon as humanly possible. Your comments will hang around,
but be associated with your Diaspora ID. You will get signed out and
locked out of your account. This will lock your username if you decided
to sign back up. Currently, there is no turning back.
