https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ is worth having a look at

Built on a secure peer to peer replicating database which doesn't mind being incomplete - you just get the bit of it you need from your friends + their friends

Has a version of github running on it: https://git.scuttlebot.io/

And a kinda soundcloud clone https://github.com/mmckegg/ferment

Yeah you can and it works quite well, but is limited to 5 or 7 people or something like that. But 0 metadata about who's involved in the conversation is great, feels way more secret shhhhh

It's kinda like a database which is chill with being incomplete, but you only get bits of this shared database from your friends (and their friends)

But unto this database you can build whatever, like there's a github thing and a soundcloud thing and a facebook thing
