Scuttlebutt

Scuttlebutt (Secure Scuttlebutt, SSB) is a decentralised, peer-to-peer secure gossip protocol and social network. It lets people share posts, messages and files directly between friends' devices without any central server, working fully offline and syncing opportunistically when peers connect. It serves individuals seeking an alternative to corporate social networks, as well as developers building apps and tools on top of the open SSB protocol.
