http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notetag:nu.federati.net,2020-10-19:noticeId=3340979:objectType=noteNew note by lnxw48a1So #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/manyverse" rel="tag">Manyverse</a></span> is a client for #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/ssb" rel="tag">SSB</a></span>, the Secure Scuttlebutt protocol ( see <a href="https://scuttlebot.io/more/protocols/secure-scuttlebutt.html" title="https://scuttlebot.io/more/protocols/secure-scuttlebutt.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer" class="attachment">https://scuttlebot.io/more/protocols/secure-scuttlebutt.html</a> ). Read the link to see more about the protocol.<br /><br /> At present, I think most implementations are based on Node.js.<br /><br /> An important thing in SSB is "Pubs". The link above says this:<br /><br /> > "Pubs" are bot-users that have public IPs. They follow users and rehost the messages to other peers, ensuring good uptime and no firewall blockage.<br /><br /> > Pubs have no special privileges, and are not trusted by users. However, because Scuttlebot has no DHT or NAT-traversal utilities, users must "join" a Pub to distribute their messages on the WAN. <br /><br /> Without a lot of active experience with SSB or its clients, it seems that pubs are a weak point and a centralizing influence. Sure, I could host a pub myself, but then I'd need to attract a good sized fraction of the overall SSB userbase, so that those connecting to my pub could find interesting users.3340979http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-10-19T05:31:00+00:002020-10-19T05:31:00+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
