• You create your own account and post to your own feed. This is all local and happens offline. You are fully in charge, and you can do most things with no reception whatsoever.
• To interact with others, connect over the network, either directly to your friends (ie, on coffee shop Wi-Fi), to rooms (search the web for #ssbroom), or to pubs.
• To start seeing content, you need to make some connections and then follow accounts. By default you see your direct friends and friends of those friends. If you encounter content you'd rather not see, block the offending account to improve the experience for you and your followers.
• Your feed is an immutable log of your activity. Post with care, because like your words in real life, posts can't be taken back.

Tilde Friends is an application platform that is an application of its own.

• This intro is a Tilde Friends app. You can click edit at the top to look under the hood and make changes if so inclined.
• But it's also set up so that you can't just break an instance of an app that everybody is using. There are protections in place like an operating system. The intent is also for it to be safe to run strange apps without worrying about adverse effects.
• But this is all a big 🚧work in progress🚧 and experiment. Let's see where it takes us.

• The button below will take you to the Secure Scuttlebutt app.
• Remember:
  1. You are in charge. This is all on your device.
  2. Make network connections to replicate with others.
  3. Follow more accounts to see more content.
  4. Post respectfully, and block those you'd rather not see.
  5. This is all under active development. Exercise patience, and report issues encountered.
• To see this tutorial again later, select apps -> Core Apps -> intro.
