* Fully open source with a copyleft license
* Openly developed (engaging with community and accepting pull requests)
* No copyright assignment
* Full peer to peer, offline and sneakernet capability like scuttlebutt
(otherwise why not Mastodon?)

and ideally:

* Private groups, communities (groups of groups) and semi-private

* Network of trust implementation (e.g. "someone you trust verified that

* Trustworthy encryption built in
* Censorship circumvention integration (e.g. via equalit.ie)
