Secure Scuttlebutt is the answer to unfucking the internet. Nobody knows about it because it's a ten year old JavaShit frankenstein made by europeans who got cold feet and abandoned it when they realised they were creating a free speech weapon.

But the mechanism of how SSB functions is very very strong. We need to bring SSB back to life and use it to build a bullet proof network now that the internet is having its throat cut.

SSB is an HTTP-equivalent protocol that has been redesigned and reimplemented here in about 1000 lines of python. If you don't like python, good news: you can reimplement it in your favorite trans or retarded language of choice with little effort.

Nostr and at proto were both created as shitty corpo versions of the original ssb protocol. SSB is not an alternative to them, it is their originator, and it's better because it isn't designed to be broken on purpose.

In its current state it needs hackers and application developers. If that is not you, ok. It is fully functional as a social network on the command line only. It turns out application development fucking sucks. But on the CLI it does chat, messaging and posting, and file sharing.

proof of concept ib built on ssb:

Nice, a non-javashit implementation. It'd be cool to see more people using it.
I'm guessing the old clients don't work with your un-webshittified protocol changes, eh?

There was no improvement. It's like switching from shit to piss.

Even aside from the first one being an implementation detail, I'd say 1000 lines of Python with SQLite is a huge improvement over 248 repositories of JavaScript and not one, but several databases which are also written in JavaScript.
