Travis Briggs<p>Trying to clean up apps on my desktop. Is SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt) dead?</p><p>I'm looking at <a href="https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/releases/tag/v3.18.1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ssbc/patchwork/rele</span><span class="invisible">ases/tag/v3.18.1</span></a> (last release of Patchwork, in 2021)</p><p>and <a href="https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay/releases" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ssbc/patchbay/relea</span><span class="invisible">ses</span></a> (last release of PatchBay, in 2019)</p><p>and <a href="https://www.manyver.se/blog/2024-04-05" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">manyver.se/blog/2024-04-05</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> (main developer of Manyverse calling it quits, in 2024)</p><p>Just wondering.

Talya (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️✡️<p>I'm curious, is there a strong <a href="https://433.world/tags/SecureScuttlebutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SecureScuttlebutt</span></a>¹ community in <a href="https://433.world/tags/Czechia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Czechia</span></a>?<br>or for that matter, is there a strong <a href="https://433.world/tags/SSB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSB</span></a> community like, anywhere?</p><p>because ideologically speaking, I consider SSB to be far superior to Activitypub, like a strong and healthy SSB network will likely be better in many ways. but the network effect working against SSB is *so much stronger* than with the Fediverse, which is essentially the only reason I'm posting it on Mastodon and not on <a href="https://433.world/tags/Manyverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manyverse</span></a>.²</p>
We DistributeWhat is We Distribute, exactly? 🤔<br><br>We Distribute is a CC-licensed open media project. It serves as a people-focused tech publication, with the goal of informing and educating people about three things:<br><br>1. Decentralized Communications<br>2. User empowerment<br>3. The future of the Internet<br><br>Most of what we do involves reporting on the day-to-day developments of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>. In fact, our articles are ActivityPub-enabled, and integrate directly into the network.<br><br>However, the Social Web / Decentralized Social movement involves far more efforts and technologies that we think are also worth reporting on: <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/matrix" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Matrix</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/xmpp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XMPP</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/bluesky" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/nostr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nostr</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/securescuttlebutt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SecureScuttlebutt</a>, and <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/solid" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Solid</a> all bring interesting pieces to the puzzle.<br><br>Our ultimate goal is to showcase the ongoing efforts to change the shape and form of the Internet itself, at a grassroots level.

I was on there for about 6 months, within which time my SSB account took up 1-2GB of my HDD with no possible way to trim old posts...</p>

FediTips has moved!<p>Manyverse isn't part of the Fediverse, because it works very differently. It's part of the SSB (aka Scuttlebutt) network, and is trying to make SSB more user friendly.</p><p>However, the aim of Manyverse/SSB is very similar to the Fediverse: to decentralise social media. You may want to try it out!</p><p>Manyverse have just released their first desktop apps, so Manyverse is now available for all major platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, iOS). You can find out more and download the apps at:</p><p><a href="https://www.manyver.se" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">manyver.se</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>They also have a Fediverse account at <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@manyver_se" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>manyver_se</span></a></span> </p><p>I've previously posted that Manyverse is serverless, but this isn't quite true. It can be very difficult to reliably connect internet users peer-to-peer, so Manyverse uses special servers called "Rooms" to connect users. However, actual user data is not stored online, so data storage is still serverless. There's a video explaining Room servers at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5p0y_MWwDE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=W5p0y_MWwD</span><span class="invisible">E</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Manyverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manyverse</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SSB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSB</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Scuttlebutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scuttlebutt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SecureScuttlebutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SecureScuttlebutt</span></a></p>
