I'd say more a tool for organising, and sharing info but also with social network features from it's elgg-ish beginnings. I've not used tent-io, sorry, but looking at it's page this is "federated social web" software.. So I'd say it's more like diaspora in not being more evenly distributed like safebook or freenet, or I guess tent: It's "second generation" so you can download a node (seed) and run it, but it's also not supposed to be for sharing pretty pictures, profile status updates and one liners.. I hope it gets more distributed as time goes on.. It's for activism, organising, sharing knowledge, decision making and it follows an ideal of decentralisation in society as well as in computers, but also needs to be usable here and now by people who depend on it for day to day organising.. Is there a demo of tent.io? Thanks and all the best! Ale -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
