  It’s intended to be much more local and decentralized than the fediverse, under the assumption that over time large fedi instances will exhibit the same issues as large centralized social networks (profit seeking, manipulation, etc)

  • Instead of many people connecting to the same server, people only connect to people’s devices that they know
  • It uses the resources of users “daily driver” devices for hosting
  • It leverages “real life” personal connections and trust to deny access to large centralized entities

    This sounds a lot like Circles

    Sounds really cool! So it’s essentially “serverless” in the sense that it runs on users’ devices right?

      I mean, it sounds cool if you don’t understand why servers exist…

        servers are for availability and storage durability

        I think it sounds cool ¯_ (ツ)_/¯
