Rotonde [0][1] is/was a pretty fascinating social network built over Dat/Beaker which basically involved each user helping to seed each user-feed they followed, resulting in a pretty stable/persistent ecosystem. I think it has mostly fallen by the wayside, but of course you should still be able to access a lot of instances due to hashbase.io seeding. To kickstart the platform we started a really basic "user list"[2] where you could find your friends' Rotonde URL based on their twitter username, since dat URLs are not exactly memorable.

Every once in a while these xxiivv guys pop up and I find myself back in the hole of their website, wandering and exploring for hours, it's such an interesting personal wiki

Who are they? I want to know, but I felt like I would end up going down a lot of rabbit holes on their website to find useful information.
