One of the problems with SSB is that the “pub” and “room” servers should switch names.
Pub servers are extremely intimate because they actually host and save everyone’s feeds. So they’re more like someone’s home.
Room servers are public meeting places that only connect user feeds to each other when users are online at the same time. So quite literally, they are like real life pubs.
Overall, SSB has a long way to go to be user friendly. Right now, it’s very opaque how data is handled on the network. Who is able to see your stuff is very mysterious. Because of that, I think it’s not a good fit for grandma, right now.
It’s sad because SSB gets so much very very right.
