Well JC, do you use it?

We're testing it now.

Let me know how it goes and how many people you have. You'll need more than 2 to test the only 'neighbors' know IP addresses thing.

I'm impressed with it. I like that it's more complex. I'm also not thrilled about having to learn a new platform. I've only started and have to catch up to the other guys. I'm still confused about some things. I expect others will find both too. But I think it may be vastly superior and worth it. It seems to me more akin to Thunderbird (email/feeds) but with a LOT of other things. I love that you can organize your shit much better than just long lists (feeds, messages, saved, etc.) that are cumbersome to navigate. I still have to learn about it's archiving features (important IMO), and wonder how much can it handle before it starts to choke (ie. browsers with lots of tabs, Thunderbird with thousands of emails, etc.). Of course there are features that I don't see nor expect to, but maybe, and I'm sure there's also much more to be discovered.

PLUS: Plugins can be made. Bots? Maybe ways to crossover between SaidIt, WikiSpooks, PeerTube, etc? I dunno.

There's also Lemmy/Lenny, and other stuff, worth checking out too.
