SSB is interesting and the clients (e.g. Patchwork) show a good amount of the promise. I'm watching it and poking occasionally and it has been fun. And the protocol spec page is fantastic: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/ https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/ ... that said, it has some enormous problems around multi-device, rather costly replication (start at the beginning, catch up to now, otherwise you can't verify anything), and it's fairly normal to miss part of a conversation and not have any real way to get it filled in. There are a number of branching concepts with semi-compatible protocols that strike me as a lot more promising, but odds seem pretty good that the community will shift if necessary (which is a good thing). Worth a shot for anyone to explore if they're curious though, there's even a largely-functional mobile app: https://www.manyver.se/ https://www.manyver.se/
