@alanz @Antanicus @alcinnz I've been aware of #Twister for a while but haven't got around to testing it. Figuring out a way to bridge between that and the #ActivityPub #fediverse would be an intriguing experiment in testing out some of these concepts in practice :;)

Bin gerde ein bisschen ratlos: Auf meinem self-hosted Server laufen #GnuSocial, #Friendica, #Diaspora und #pump.io. Zwischendurch schaue ich auch in #twister und #FreeNet rein.
Noch weitere installieren und kennen lernen? Hmm - irgendwie ist die Motivation etwas weg... -

@HerraBRE @cheesegrits I need to get back to #Twister, used to be a user. Still have my account there somewhere.
Yeah, that's my feel too. ONe thing I kinda waited for is for Twister to create a library that I could then use in a stand-alone PyQT desktop app, which I feel would make more sense than asking users to run a daemon and connect on localhost.
But that's me. ;)

@natejms The problem I've seen with social blockchains is that it doesn't really scale super well. #Twister is a blockchain clone of Twitter, and although the idea is neat, having to download the whole blockchain to participate is a huge bottleneck.

@1iceloops123 @existentialbro @lnxw48a1 I somehow missed the post about #Twister in the thread and thought the "microblogging version of SteemIt" was about the original topic. Twister involves a blockchain but not cryptocurrency. They use Bitcoin's code just for claiming usernames and maybe for some post metadata. For content distribution they're using bittorrent. It seems similar to NightWeb if you ever saw that, except NightWeb was I2P based and you needed a url to find someone.

@existentialbro @1iceloops123 I've never heard of #Steemit before. #Twister has been around for a few years, though. When I used Twister, there was not any kind of otherwise-useless gamification token, which is what I see in the Wikipedia entry for Steemit. -

@Wolf480pl @Gargron @chosafine Blockchain in #Twister is not used for posts ("twists"), but for account/nickname ownership.

@1iceloops123 Have you tried #Twister? It is sort of a #P2P microblogging system. It has been a while since I've looked or used it, so I can't tell you what underlying technologies it uses, but it is an interesting attempt at censorship-resistant communicating. -

@lxoliva haha, thanks! I need to get back on #Twister some time. Hope it's still alive and kicking!

@veg05 Similarly, #Twister info was lost during OS reinstall, so I don't expect to return there. -

@1iceloops123 Have you tried #Twister yet? I believe it uses a combination of a #blockchain and torrents to distribute posts #p2p. -

Anyone tested #twister yet? It's a fully #p2p social network. Looks interesting. anyone experince with it? http://twister.net.co/ https://gnusocial.de/attachment/3898270 -

#Twister does like to use CPU, that's for sure. And I didn't even discuss the installation process, which really is tougher than it should be.
But people with metered connections could be surprised at how much bandwidth it really uses, even when they are idle. (And I also agree that #Bitmessage is far less resource intensive, but even there, relaying messages happens even when you're not sending or receiving any messages yourself.)
The point I'm making isn't to criticize either one. I'm saying that we don't want people who try them out to be unpleasantly surprised that each node must perform some tasks to support the overall network. -

Linux Walt (@lnxw48a1)
One thing people need to be aware of with current #P2P implementations is the tendency for individual nodes to use more bandwidth for distribution and network maintenance than actual sending and receiving for the local user. I noticed people complaining about the bandwidth consumption on both #Bitmessage and #Twister. I imagine bandwidth and storage would be issues for #ipfs users.
I don't think these are necessarily negatives, but people should be made aware when they start to participate that their node will play a part in doing the work of the building & maintaining the network. -

@strypey Right, I love the idea of the thing, some good will probably come out from it. But a simple glance at #Twister shows that it's all but wildly impractical for end users.

@question Your #Twister persona (@b0t) has gone dormant. Now you have no more excuses for not attending, so it is time to attend some #Ethelbert support group meetings. -

@luke @rowland @hobbsc He went whole-hog, then discovered #Twister could not fulfill his expectations. He was on #Zeronet after that. -
