Abridged comment from #CommonsTransition [Loomio group](https://www.loomio.org/d/dbiroxpy/37) by @strypey
"Hubzilla and the Zot protocol are incredible, definitely worth a look. The UX could use work, and it takes a bit of getting your head around. But that's because it can be hard to grok the brilliance of Zot's solutions until you've had some painful experiences of the more head-scratching federation problems it sets out to solve."
e.g.
- node downtime
- nomadic user data
- privacy / selective sharing
