I think the cool kids are calling Dat the Hypercore Protocol these days. https://hypercore-protocol.org/guides/
Paul Frazee who is from that team is also working on a social network built on the protocol called CTZN, live streaming his development on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pfrazee
Great find!
The name is already totally aligned with our core values. Very obscure and unattractive.
Have not seen the vids yet. Is it already usable? Anyone on there already?
Not yet, we’re aiming for a “testnet” run in a week(ish) and beta by midmonth.
Looking forward to the announcement!
There's a little bit of that around Gemini. (I feel like I'd like something like Gemini-over-IPFS...) https://gemini.circumlunar.space/
Can we please come together and form a sort of tilde club on IPFS oder the Dat protocol? Like "The Well" for today, with intelligent, respectful conversations in a format that is not as toxic as 140 characters and no sane threading?
So that the protocol itself will filter away the eternal septemberists?
And can we please make it uncomfortable for the "I need total anonymity for my free speech conspiracy BS", so that we also keep these nutcracks away from our community?
