Is #Scuttlebutt or the #fediverse the social network of the future?
It's time to build our own Internet https://scuttlebutt.nz/
Scuttlebutt Protocol Guide https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/
Scuttlebut & the fediverse both have many clients (software apps). However, Scuttlebut is a social network built on the peer-to-peer SSB protocol.
The Manyverse (For Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux) looks similar to #mastodon. https://www.manyver.se/
Manyverse is a social networking app with features you would expect: posts, likes, profiles, private messages, etc. But it's not running in the cloud owned by a company, instead, your friends' posts and all your social data live entirely in your phone (or computer). This way, even when you're offline, you can scroll, read anything, and even write posts and like content! When your phone (or computer) is back online, it syncs the latest updates directly with your friends' phones, through a shared local Wi-Fi or on the internet.
Manyverse already works, but it is still in beta. Download it and give it a try https://www.manyver.se/
@Empiricism_Reloaded what does this matter over every other social media network?

How Scuttlebutt peers find and talk to each other https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/
Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a peer-to peer communication protocol, mesh network, and self-hosted social media ecosystem.[3][4] Each user hosts their own content and the content of the peers they follow, which provides fault tolerance and eventual consistency.[5] Messages are digitally signed and added to an append-only list of messages published by an author.[6] SSB is primarily used for implementing distributed social networks, and utilizes cryptography to assure that content remains unforged as it is propagated through the network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Scuttlebutt
No. I'd prefer it if you used search engines to study the question you asked me as that information is relatively easy to find out for yourself.
I directed you to the relevant information.
