What is a Scuttlebut?
Scuttlebutt for mobile refers to a decentralized social networking protocol known as Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB), which is designed for peer-to-peer communication without relying on centralized servers.
On mobile devices, applications such as Manyverse and Planetary implement the Scuttlebutt protocol, allowing users to engage in social networking while maintaining control over their data and privacy.
These apps enable users to share posts, messages, and interact with others even when offline, syncing data once they reconnect to the internet or come into proximity with other users.
