Even more complicated than Mastodon and feels really janky. Seems like it's likely to always be niche. Also full of cryptobros whenever I've loaded it up again.
Spent a while there now. Yep, its Bitcoin, everywhere.
Though if you doomscroll long enough (heh), you MIGHT find someone worth following and reading. ...might.
There is also Secure Scuttlebutt if you need extreme nomadicity
https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/

It is basically very similar in concept, just without the baggage of inconvenience which comes with crypto coins.
But clients looks abandoned
https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork
https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay
https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse
So it might be considered as well as dead.
And there is also the DAT protocol, which again is assimilable to IPFS just without the coins, but it seems it really never took off, https://dat-ecosystem.org/
I guess coins scams is really what only can sustain these projects then :/
