Is this related to [Secure] Scuttlebutt (SSB), or just using the same name?

Unfortunately, there exist two different distributed protocols named scuttlebutt. The one referenced here is a gossip algorithm, the one you mention is a social network protocol.

They appeal to different enough spheres and scuttlebutt is such a good name I can't fault whoever moved second on that one.
