One of the cool features of SSB is making actual P2P a first-class feature. It works just as well on an isolated private adhoc network as it does over the web.

I wish more dencentralized/federated services operated this way.

Matrix is making p2p a first-class feature, and how they’re doing it is pretty simple. They’re just embedding a “homeserver” right onto the user device alongside the client.

With the new fast homeserver efforts, like Dendrite and Conduit, this suddenly becomes feasible.

Just as a reference for anyone else like me who was not familiar with this effort: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/06/02/introducing-p-2-p-matrix
