In the sense that it's federated, yes. But unlike Diaspora it's a real-time chat system similar to Slack. (Well, most existing UIs present it that way - in reality it's a protocol for sending arbitrary JSON between clients in a room in real time, and persisting that data for later retrieval.) >From a user's perspective, it's kind of like a mix between XMPP and Slack, with XMPP's federation features and Slack's focus on multi-user chats and persistent history. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
