FWIW I'm 80% convinced that dat is the future of SSB. It has the technological foundations to do everything SSB needs and more. There is however one huge difference in philosophy, that can be solved with technology but still needs to be done: SSB gossips content through the human network and public places, while dat needs direct connectivity between peers. The former is better exactly for the reason that was mentioned earlier: Peers need to have some re-hosting if they want to have their content disseminated while they're offline, so the discussion can still happen. Dat will need to have the equivalent of SSB's pubs (no-registration, no-config, just connect and send). There is a discussion about that somewhere but I can't find it anymore
