I used some licence free CC images.
Great work!!!
I love the first one, with the blue sky and the three seeds. It is minimal, simple and evokes freedom
I think the goal is to let potential Facebook refugees know we exist, not to bash FB directly. So I would like to keep it neutral, clean, positve and informative.
Because there is also a link (to diasporafoundation.org) in the thunderclap message weāre down to 117 chars unfortuanly. Thatās why I was pondering having some more text in the imageā¦
However there is also a place for āour storyā on the thunderclap page itself so we might aswell put it there and keep the image clean, what do you think?
"Reclaim your freedom in #2015! Join #DIASPORA, the ad free, privacy aware, SOCIAL NETWORK where YOU are in control! " is exaclty 117 charsā¦
I will go on now collecting text for the āour storyā part.
Hope to have a proposal this evening.
I think you are right, it should be a positive message, for the people out there who are looking for another social network but never heard of diaspora.
What do you think about ātryā diaspora instead of ājoinā?
And - but Iām really not sure of that one- āBe freeā instead of āReclaim your freedomāā¦ so we could add āopen sourceā afterwards. But maybe its too ugly?
@jasonrobinson @jhass @Perig Gouanvic would you take a quick peek at the images above and tell me if you think thereās something usable there? Thanks!
There are some nice designs there.
The only comment Iād make on first view is to say āown your dataā rather than āown your own dataā, to avoid using the same word twice so close together. (Also, if you donāt own your data, itās not your own dataā¦ if you see what I mean.) But itās just a slightly more tidy phrase.
I wonder about āReclaim your freedom, your privacy and your data in 2015!ā (the bold is optional). That gets privacy in there as well, and as moving from not owning your data to owning it is reclaiming, I think it fits in there too.
Also, in one of them it says āJoin diasporaā. I wonder about changing that to āJoin us in diaspora*ā, partly because that sounds more personal and friendly, and also because the phrase ājoin diasporaā can encourage the confusion that diaspora = joindiaspora.com, which weāve been trying to get away from over the past couple of years.
Does any of that sound useful? I admit I havenāt really taken the trouble to understand this campaign, so I might be giving the wrong kind of advice.
@goob thanks, thatās really helpful!! You are totally right about own your own, but I took it from diasporafoundation/about page thatās why 
I think Iāll change it for tidiness.
Iām not native in English, but to me join us in diaspora sounds a bit weird to me. Maybe join us on diaspora? it does sound more personal, I agreeā¦
Donāt worry about the campaign youāll get it when it launches hopefully
Ok hereās a draft for the campaign page. Note that the people reading this will be both existing D* users that we want to encourage to participate and contacts of those people that might also be willing to back our campaign.
I am slightly dyslectic so if you spot any typoās let me know 
So here it goes:
Join us on Diapora* and reclaim your freedom, your privacy and your data in 2015!
- itās ad-free!
- itās nonprofit!
- itās decentalized!
- itās privacy aware!
- itās open source!
- itās growing fast!
- itās easy!
- itās for YOU!
With major social media corporations constantly changing their terms of service for the worse, lots of people are looking for alternatives! YOU can help them reclaiming their online freedom by letting them know diaspora exists!*
What can you do to make this campaign a major succes?
-
Please back this Thunderclap campain by lending out your Twitter, Tumblr, and/or Facebook account (if you still have oneā¦). If we reach your supporter goal, Thunderclap will blast out a timed Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr post from all your supporters, creating a wave of attention.

If you are following any famous people, policitians, or other public figures you think might be receptive to what diaspora* stands for, consider sending them a tweet or a message kindly inviting the to back te campaign and re-tweet/ re-share.
-
And you can ofcourse ask your friends and family to join in (as a christmas present to you :-))
-
You probably have some other creative ideas. Share them on diaspra* using the hashtag #thunderclap2015!
Oh youāre right, well spotted. I wrote that a long time ago, and I canāt think why. I think I did it for emphasis, to try to be clever, but on reading it again Iām not so sure itās so good. Iāll revisit that page and might change that text. Thanks!
In/on diaspora is an interesting question: āon the platformā vs. āin the networkā; I was thinking primarily of āin the communityā, which is what we want (I think) to promote diaspora as. I think (as a native English-speaker) that āinā sounds better, but itās not a definitive decision.
addition:
Be sure to keep the message positive. This isnāt set up for bashing other platforms, it is set up to inform people that Diaspora exist so they know they have a choice.
Very good text sumimasen! watch out the forgotten āRā
itās ad-free!
itās nonprofit!
itās decentRalized!
I was wondering, when we discussed the draft earlier, there was the idea to spread that diaspora may not have all the features as other social network, but offers ethical values. Maybe we could add something like that. Just that newbies donāt expect too muchā¦
Perhaps āJoin the Diaspora!ā, using Diaspora as a verb or an action-packed noun, which really, it is.
Regarding lack of featuresā¦ where are the games at? If I develop a social game myself, could I set it up to work on diaspora?
@zv this is indeed a very good point, kindly start a new discussion, because developers should take your idea into account on a larger scale perhaps
@zv You would need an API. We already have a discussion about that here on Loomio and a pull request on github.
Ok Iām about to submit. Iām considering what @goob said, but Iām having trouble fitting it into those 117 characters.
I suggest we do:
āReclaim your freedom in #2015! Join #DIASPORA, the ad free, privacy aware, SOCIAL NETWORK where YOU are in control!ā
or
Break free in #2015! Join us on #DIASPORA, the ad free, privacy aware, SOCIAL NETWORK where YOU are in control!
or
Reclaim your #freedom, your #privacy and your #data in #2015! Join us on #DIASPORA* the open source social network!
Great, itās about to start!
I like the ābreak freeā one. it make think of the Queen song, itās good !
I think I agree. Breaking free feels more powerful (and positive) than reclaimingā¦
So weāll go with that I guessā¦
What supporters goal should we set? No Idea how this campaign will be received by the communityā¦ my innitial post got a fair amount of reshares but not nothing too impressiveā¦
You seem to be able to adjust the goal during the campaign. Should we be bold and shoot for 250 or 500 supporters, or maybe better to start at 100 and see how people respond?
