It’s an open network! It’s a social network! It’s free!
And, maybe most importantly: It’s Not A Twitter Clone!
Whether it’s actually good…insufficient data for meaningful answer.
But if you want to try it out:
Here is a link to download the main app
And here is an invite code for a Pub (as in a place you hang out and meet people) for the rationalsphere:
142.93.26.126:8008:@z6kCgZREy7sbWZcI2USeXSoMWEcRW+FcNZySNArAoRI=.ed25519~OJg5KQqTMl8TO6cisLL17PHXesMY5gRGVG/iPRcpkDo=
Here’s the page for the overall “what is this anyway?”
why are there so many protocols… why do Tent and Mastodon and Scuttlebutt have their own protocols… this is what a “protocol” is for, it’s for multiple things to use…. hnnnnggghhhh
I’ll check it out I guess, as long as they have a linux client
importantly here is an android app for it:
The main problem I had when first attempting to use Scuttlebutt was that–unless you have the knowledge and resources to run your own pub, which I do not–it forces you to integrate into the pre-existing web of social connections, unable to import the relationships you’ve already formed elsewhere. Which *is* a great way to make new friends, and that *is* very much a valuable role to play, but right now I’m focused on keeping the old ones.
A ratsphere pub sounds very promising. I think I’ll be giving this another try.
(They do have a Linux client. Source: am on Linux, have used their client.)
