FEDI Future
The #Fediverse does expand more and more.
For more and more use cases we see now special apps which can manage and present special content and share it to federated servers. Following gets easy that way but for presenting and sharing every time a new account for this special apps is needed.

Do you find this development acceptable for you or would you rather care for an app which provides an open architecture so that all presenting and sharing could be done also with just ONE app under ONE account?

This is maybe also a philosophical question.
How do you want to organize your self in the Internet - with the help of many accounts or rather with few?

If it comes down to #selfhosting this question is probably easy to answer. You sure do not want to host to many apps by your self.

So it is all about selfhosting or not?

Tell us about your thoughts.

SSB is a protocol that can work online or offline, it can scale up or down and you can run it off a Raspberry Pi and spin up a pub node for next to nothing. It has end to end encryption, so there is no data leaks en-route and not even the server admin can peak into a stream... so it has private communication.

It has no central authority and is basically bullet proof from any takeover of the network. Works great for those in dodgy situations where the online status is intermittent or none existent... like the aftermath of a hurricane for instance. Can use Bluetooth to WiFi hotspot for emergency situations or local LAN with a repeater to WAN.

I would say that is a pretty robust network... immune to tyranny.

all true - still there are some reasons why the architecture does not work for generell use.

Sad... a highly underrated protocol... but the project still lives though, so maybe one day.
Sorry, you have got no notifications at the moment...
