Re: "Is the Fediverse worth it? Every so often I read some..."
— google plus vs diaspora design timeline
true. mastodon is more engaging than socialhome or diaspora, since it shows you what your friends are commenting on in your stream.
diaspora on the contrary doesn't show you how your friends interact with other people.
plus, diaspora is, i believe, designed very well, this idea of aspects which, i guess, was then borrowed by google. so this time it was the other way round.
and it didn't live well even with google resources. eventually google decided to close g+ and give it up.
