Here is an idea for replacing a email-based workflow with a ssb-based one: https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/patches-carved-into-developer-sigchains There is already a vibrant active gossip P2P social media platform[2] working on this protocol. It is uncensurable and encrypts all private conversations. -- Cheers Swedebugia [1] https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/ (its current implementation is mainly in node but the protocol seems solid and a c implementation (sbotc, sbotd) does exist.
