I did have a bit of a play with Manyverse (and with SSB itself in the past) and it looks interesting. The lack of syncing between desktop and mobile SSB accounts is a bit of a pain which I think will hinder adoption until they come up with a solution to that. I do worry that a lot of these newer messengers and networks are operating on a memory of what social networking was like in 2010. Quite a few at least handle photos, but few, if any, handle videos, and none that I've seen have pinched Facebook's events, which are a pretty key feature for me in convincing people to swap.

> lack of syncing between desktop and mobile SSB accounts is a bit of a pain Yeah that's something they're actively trying to figure out, but it's tricky given their "Signal-/WhatsApp-esque" single-device architecture. I think some of the work Matrix are doing on federated key exchange could be of some help though; my general understanding is that multidevice, single-account encrypted communication is hard.

What if they use IPFS for encrypted larger file size messages and treat the main message as they would an on-chain message that references the ipfs CID?

What on Earth us Facebook Events? During a pandemic lockdown?

  Ha ha. Events was the only feature keeping me on Facebook pre-lockdown. I only realised months after the pandemic started that I'd forgotten to login to Facebook since. Would still be nice to have a non-Facebook platform to use for this if irl events ever resume.
