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/
I can see scuttlebutt having all & more of the features of the fediverse. Would you prefer to own & control your own online identity? (Data) Or to trust the corporations or mastodon admins?
