  • It’s still early days. They are committed to open source code and their work shares some cadres and ideas with the original scuttlebutt (secure-ssb), so for now I have faith that they can build a sustainable open ecosystem before they get eaten by capitalism. The slogans and technical plans have been saying mostly all the right things, the ceo is a millennial former OWS activist, etc.

    The actual practice of how they’ve responded to the recent growth surge is lackluster. They should be working on end-user/volunteer moderation tooling and instead they’re putting out statements about “verification”.

    Their own site moderation has their hands full with just right wingers and illegal shit, but the flood of transphobic resist libs is still enough to drive some of the cool LGBT leftists off the site, since private accounts are not a thing and will not be for a while.
