If you are new to this blog, Delog is a decentralized Android mobile micro-blogging application. It works like Mastodon but is easier to host a server and it's mobile oriented. Delog is based on the Secure Scuttlebut (SSB) Protocol originaly created by Dominic Tar & friends.
From the inception of the Internet, I've been a firm believer in its social capabilities.

The Decentralized Microblogging Association (DMBA) releases two Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) software applications: Delog, an Android client for Secure Scuttlebutt, and ssb-relay, an SSB server.
The DMBA is an emergent collective that organizes the development of a social network called based on SecretStack, SecretHandshake and Secure Scuttlebutt. This association comprises individuals who are motivated by shared values and a common interest in creating a more decentralized and secure online environment. Through their collective efforts, the Decentralized Microblogging Association is working to foster innovation and collaboration in the development of the Secure Scuttlebutt network, and to promote the adoption of decentralized social networking as a viable alternative to traditional centralized platforms.
