<p>Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is actually some complicated decentralized network. Anyone who is a techie can check out the details, but this is a guide for the non-nerds. It basically acts like facebook(you can like, post content and make little groups) but instead of being controlled by one shitty company, its spread amongst a bunch of different servers. It also has some neat features like being able to use it with people on the same wifi network as you and some offline usage. Since it is decentralized, its harder to kill than a normal social networking site that would be hosted on one server.</p>
<h1 id="how-do-i-use-it">How do I use it?</h1>
<p>Its really easy to start! You can access SSB through a program called patchwork, you can install here: <a href="https://ahdinosaur.github.io/patchwork-downloader/">https://ahdinosaur.github.io/patchwork-downloader/</a> You won't be able to see anything(unless you have the luck of having a ssb user on your local wifi network) since you arent connected to any server. Thats an easy fix though! Just press the "join pub" button and paste in an invite code from any of the pub servers.

I fucking hate facebook. I\'m really not the kind of person that was
ever into it, but its clear that alot of anarchists have a utility for
it. There are alot of benefits that can be found in a social
network(organizing events and meetups, shitposting etc) so having one
that respects the freedom and privacy of the user is pretty cool. This
is where secure scuttlebutt comes in.
What is secure scuttlebutt?
===========================
Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is actually some complicated decentralized
network. Anyone who is a techie can check out the details, but this is a
guide for the non-nerds. It basically acts like facebook(you can like,
post content and make little groups) but instead of being controlled by
one shitty company, its spread amongst a bunch of different servers. It
also has some neat features like being able to use it with people on the
same wifi network as you and some offline usage. Since it is
decentralized, its harder to kill than a normal social networking site
that would be hosted on one server.
How do I use it?
================
Its really easy to start! You can access SSB through a program called
patchwork, you can install here:
<https://ahdinosaur.github.io/patchwork-downloader/> You won\'t be able
to see anything(unless you have the luck of having a ssb user on your
local wifi network) since you arent connected to any server. Thats an
easy fix though! Just press the \"join pub\" button and paste in an
invite code from any of the pub servers. There\'s a list here:
<https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers> Here\'s an invite
code you could use right now to get started!
