I downloaded Manyverse from fdroid and have yet to open it up and make an account, but honestly think it’s a cool concept, and to me is a pretty good way to be private from the general population (and companies!)
I gotta play with it a bit more, but my initial impression is pretty good. The UI is pretty clean and simple, but I’ll have a better idea of how well it works after playing with it with some friends for a bit.

On some level that is true, sure. But it’s important to keep in mind that usually, unless you’re sending private encrypted messages, everything you post is public. It’s an append-only log which also gets replicated onto many machines, possibly including strangers who could take it and post it online for everyone to see (or, once scuttlebutt gets large enough for this sort of behavior to become profitable, scrape for user data).

Manyverse is pretty neat. Not as many features as mastodon or anything, but pretty cool.
Oh nifty, I haven’t seen Manyverse before gonna try it out now. :)
Oh thoughts?
