It’s not a distributed network at all though. Pubky is a social network on a central server. The identity and authentication tool is what they are talking about when they says it’s decentralized/dsitributed.
Some of their marketing is a mess though and I think they do a generally poor job of explaining how the user relates to what they’ve built. Everything they discuss is about architecture and not the user experience.
