   I've been reading more about #Dat ( https://docs.datproject.org/ ) ... I see a hard dependency on #Node.JS, which has lessened my interest quite a bit.

      @lnxw48a1 It's a very cool project.
      
      But I am biased, as I have met some of the people involved, and it's sort of SSB-adjacent.

         @clacke Speaking of SSB, what's the relationship with gitmx? http://gitmx.com/

            @lnxw48a1 Everything around ssb is pretty loose organization-wise. I don't know much about the gitmx people, but I think they're sort of an autonomous fringe.
            
            http://evbogue.com/decent/ is a social network distinct from Patchwork, but still on top of ssb. I think. There's some deliberate demarcation between networks, but I don't know if that's on the ssb level or the application level.
            
            The domain name gitmx.com used to be a git-ssb front-end. Seems it isn't anymore.

               @clacke The whole ssb thing is in my 'try this' queue. I've just had little time + energy + bandwidth recently.

         @clacke @lnxw48a1 how does it compare to ipfs - if this question even makes sense.

         Wut? I thought #DigitalAudioTape was a failed technology from the 1990s, and haven't seen references to #SingleSideBand since the #CBRadio days. Or perhaps we ran out of #TLAs in 2010, and we're just recycling the unused ones. @lnxw48a1 @clacke #Dat #SSB

            @bobjonkman @lnxw48a1 One of the drawbacks of having experience -- old TLAs coming back to haunt us. :-)
            
            I actually find #ssb reusing the old radio initialism quite appropriate. The feeling of the decentralized social network is rather HAM-radio-like.
