Manyverse – A social network off the grid

Does SSB still make it impossible to share a single identity across multiple devices? (I.e. I&#x27;d like to log into my identity from my laptop but see that same identity&#x27;s feed on my phone.)<p>I want to participate, but periodically I check <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scuttlebutt.nz&#x2F;faq&#x2F;applications&#x2F;multiple-devices.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scuttlebutt.nz&#x2F;faq&#x2F;applications&#x2F;multiple-devices...</a> and it hasn&#x27;t changed, and for me, having a single device to which the entirety of my identity is tied is a non-starter. Even so, the tech seems interesting, and I hope that limitation goes away one day.

One of my issues with Secure Scuttlebutt is that it is difficult to participate unless you already know other people there. I joined and began messaging other users and commenting on the community hashtags - only to discover that no one was going to get my messages until they subscribed to me. This means that I either need to message those users outside of the network - or I need to run into them irl.<p>Is this a feature of SSB or a bug? I mean once I&#x27;m in the network and well-entrenched, I could see it being a feature. But how do I even get to that point? (Oh and does Manyverse address this at all? Sorry I don&#x27;t have Android.)

This actually sounds like a pretty great idea. Self hosting content is the only reliable way to prevent the perverse incentives and costs of centralization. But only having mobile apps for it makes it useless.

I really do like SSB in concept, but I am kinda sad that it seems to fit mainly for social networks. I would like to see something more discussion&#x2F;topic focused than user centric, but of course with the whole peer to peer and offline aspects.

“Off the grid”... but only offering an app for the Google person-tracking platform (Android)...?

Hm, if the author happens to be on here: I can&#x27;t seem to email bug reports.<p>&quot;Unfortunately, your email to GitLab could not be processed. We couldn&#x27;t find the project. Please check if there&#x27;s any typo.&quot;<p>Also, are issues turned off on the repo?

As a normal user, I have seen 0 reasons to switch off of Facebook here that I care about, and I don&#x27;t even understand how it works.

I like the concept and installed the android app. Unfortunately, I wouldn&#x27;t call it a beta version. I would say alpha since it seems to ... lack a lot. I was even unable to report a bug via the in-app mail link. Got a response that there is no such project on gitlab ;)

What are some solutions to posting something that you later regret? Pretty much nothing is my guess since it&#x27;s like sending an email and regretting it later.<p>Does the sync allow for deletion too?

What about illegal content? Say an identity decides to simply post weekly torrent dumps. Can authorities prevent this?
