here are the options:

data is controlled by:

a) yourself b) your hacker-friend c) a profit-oriented company d) a non-profit-oriented organisation

a and b are the restrictions diaspora faces.

Facebook is c - not good for well-known reasons.

d is an organisation responsibly handling your data.

no contradiction.

the organization though could in fact be based on Diaspora and maintain pods.

That's what https://framasoft.org is doing. They have a https://degooglisons-internet.org/ project (degooglify the internet) and are providing alternatives to every big corporate services out there. https://framasphere.org is their installation of diaspora* built against facebook. And they are non-profit. (You can switch the language to english if you do not speak french)
