Thank you! I’m a little hair on fire at the moment but if you want to claim your unique username, please reach out to me (I’m not sure if I have a way of reaching out to you through Patreon) and I’ll issue it.
- smokeyj 8y agoI think parent was asking for your take on the secure scuttlebot protocol (SSB) and the overlap of goals. I would also be interested, thanks!
- rolleiflex 8y agoI think it's covered here: https://getaether.net/docs/how_is_it_different_from/#secure-scuttlebutt https://getaether.net/docs/how_is_it_different_from/#secure-... In summary, SSB is, from what I can see, designed for non-public sharing of Twitter-like content between friends, and your data only traverses to people who follow you. In contrast, Aether is explicitly designed to be a public space where you talk to people you don't know. It communicates everyone's information to everybody. To make that possible, Aether only accepts and transmits text (you can still link to stuff), while SSB can transmit other formats directly in the protocol itself. (I might be horribly wrong: I'm not a SSB expert. Please correct me if so.)
