New to scuttlebutt and wanting to host a server. Room or Pub?
all these pub projects are just wrappers around this functionality in https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server

Why hot new social app Clubhouse spells nothing but trouble. The startup’s invitation-only model gives it a sheen of exclusivity, but privacy horrors lurk behind the buzz.
Secure Scuttlebutt isn't strictly speaking "invite-only", but to connect to a Pub (and therefore lots of people) you generally need an invite code. There's a list of public pubs here (which I updated earlier today)

Scuttlebutt – A decentralized secure gossip platform
I've wanted to write a longer blog post about this, but after a few years of working on SSB I appreciate you highlighting these pain points. I think everyone in the SSB maintainer community feels the same way.
My hot take: Scuttlebutt should be something that you can implement yourself in an afternoon. I've done this a few times, using Python, Node.js, and Deno, but I've only implemented the message type. (Not Multiserver, MuxRPC, Secret-Handshake, Box-Strean, Private-Box, or any of the other protocols that are associated with SSB.)
> It feels like Git.
You got it. You could express an SSB chain with Git and a pre-commit hook (to verify messages), but using Git as your database is even harder than learning the toy database that SSB uses.
Various links:

- My speedrun SSB implementation with SQLite, using HTTP for replication: https://github.com/christianbundy/http-ssb
