[liberationtech] Have any of you ever used Scuttlebot?

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

Sounds great but.. it apparently would require each user to download an app to their phones..

That may be an obstacle to widespread adoption by potential ICE raid targets

Once a user posts the message to the public server everyone else will download the feed and see the what where and when of the raid and even if they shut down the public server, it will still live on as everyone will have each individual as a subscribed feed.
