I love this idea. Thank you for the examples!
I've been thinking of this as well:
Something like old school Facebook in UI, but functions more like MSN Messenger. You connect to your contacts via P2P, and download/upload updates to your social media network.

Yup, local-first is central to the design.
And, you only see who you explicitly follow.
I love your username!
I hope there's a sympy-thagoras out there.

Sounds similar to scuttlebutt
I absolutely LOVE secure scuttlebutt (SSB).
Their local-first approach inspired that aspect of the 9social design.
However, a big difference is that SSB is a sophisticated protocol.
With 9social, the heavy lifting is done by git and a set of conventions.
