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.
#Embracer bought all of #CrystalDynamics western division for 300 million, sells one franchise to Amazon for double their purchase price of the whole lot.
#TombRaider goes for $600 million?
@RoboBonobo here is our report on #scuttlebutt and #nostr https://mattlorentz.com/weblog/2023/01/18/nostr-v-ssb.html
The main criticisms of nostr is that you don’t do the pull feed scoping of Scuttlebutt so it’s more vulnerable to abuse and spam. There is also a cultural thing that nostr devs tend to come from the Bitcoin community and Scuttlebutt from solarpunk dweb.
@liztai #SolarPunk is actually not just a genre of fiction but an established #tech movement with real software you can use today! Check out #Scuttlebutt, a fully distributed social network which may be able to hold out against corporatism long after the fediverse succumbs to centralization https://scuttlebutt.nz
