Originally created by @sdgathman on GitHub (Oct 19, 2021).

Some devs living on boats needed a social media app that didn't depend on being constantly connected to the internet. So they developed the Secure Scuttlebutt protocol, or SSB. A "scuttlebutt" is the water cooler on a ship.

SSB is fully decentralized, works offline, and synchronizes content when connected, or upon arrival of human or avian courier. (It is transport independent.) Enthusiasts have built and deployed solar powered embedded "pubs", automated nodes to store and exchange content with SSB apps near enough for Wifi.

The reference app is/was "Patchwork" - 5, fully decentralized. But there are a number of apps, my favorite being Patchfoo (which is a web app - 4, client with separate decentralized server).

SSB is popular enough that some orgs, like BBC, are beginning to use it for advertising. People have to actually want to "follow" your ads - but this is not a problem for BBC (or superbowl commercials).

Never mind, I see you have Patchwork listed already. Sorry!
