Hello! Author of Awala here. Not sure about that. We're trying to solve very different problems.
Scuttlebut and SSB-powered apps like Manyverse focus on social media and decentralisation, which is more about "broadcasting" and gossip protocols, where the offline comms is a happy side-effect of their decentralisation goals.
Awala is a platform to make software communicate offline securely. Centralised services like Twitter[1], and decentralised ones like Letro[2], or even hybrids, are all possible.[3]
I'm not on a quest to decentralise the Internet. I'm on a quest to connect people to their loved ones despite repressive regimes and wars.
