The term "diaspora" refers to the dispersion or scattering of a group of people from their original homeland to other parts of the world. It is a general term used to describe any group of people who have been displaced from their homeland.
On the other hand, "Diaspora" with a capital "D" refers specifically to the online social networking platform that was launched in 2010. It is a decentralized social network that allows users to connect and communicate with others who share similar interests or backgrounds. It is designed to provide a platform for communities to come together and share information, ideas, and resources.
