Richard MacManus<p>One of the unsung heroes of Bluesky’s success is Dominic Tarr, whose <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Scuttlebutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scuttlebutt</span></a> protocol was an inspiration for Bluesky CTO <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>pfrazee.com</span></a></span> (the first dev to join Dominic in 2014).

Continued thread

One *could* imagine a public #SSB parlor, some kind of online chatroom which serves the function of a social mixer -- a bar or a coffee shop -- in which people congregate for the express purpose of finding other people with whom to establish #scuttlebutt links...but I haven't found anything like that.
Do participants in that universe prefer it to be something conducted more along the lines of a secret society or a "fraternal/sororal" order requiring induction?

Having just installed #Manyverse, I'm finding that the #scuttlebutt universe is more like email (and gossip!) than I imagined.
There seems to be no way to explore it unless
* you have a pre-existing connection to someone already in that universe who is willing to communicate via #ssb OR
* you can interest an insider in communicating with you OR
* you can form a cohort who all join up and communicate with each other.
Better for strengthening social ties than for establishing them.
