This already exists. It's called scuttlebutt and it's awesome. No coin or ICO involved, just a bunch of smart programmers solving hard problems. The best bit is you can use it with just an app, you don't need to setup your own sever or trust someone else's to host your content like every other decentralized social network I've seen.


From what I see, last commit was a year ago and that was just to bump the version number. Is more work being done on this? It looks interesting.

edit never mind, I was looking at https://github.com/dominictarr/scuttlebutt


Still very active: https://github.com/ssbc/


See scuttlebutt.nz the team and user count is still small, but it works well and development is very active.


Unfortunately a name like scuttlebutt does not inspire me to join.

I am also unlikely to recommend it to people in real life. How could they get something so simple so wrong?
