An only-selfhostable social media plattform, working primary offline on your device… It is pull-based not push-based. And it works in the same LAN/WLAN, or by bluetooth, or USB-Memory-Sticks… and for sure over the internet.
Your Backup are your friends. You only need your e25519-secure key as your “Identity-Passport” to get all your data back, if you loose your device…
Great thing!
And it makes the “loud” Social Media noisy…
I think this has to do with the way SB works. All SB posts are stored on the device you’re writing on, not on a server. When you add someone on Scuttlebutt, you only get their posts when there’s a connection between your device and theirs. So, SB pulls their posts to your device when this happens as opposed to having them pushed to your device by a central server.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
yes. thats right. but your device even pulls the updates from a friend, even if a common friend together is online… and pulls all the updates our common friend pulled before…
