It's not an alternative to Facebook (or even Google+) for two reasons on viability for users. Firstly, it seems to have one client in development for Android, and none for iOS. Secondly, it doesn't offer a way to use multiple devices (with activity synced). [1] This restricts the platform a lot. I've been looking at Scuttlebutt once in a while for sometime, but I don't think it's developing fast enough to be a contender. I'd really like to have a decentralized offering, but unless it provides the key features Facebook does, like the timeline, newsfeed, groups and pages, it'll be a very hard sell to get others on board.
