toxic users is a definite thing, but I think scuttlebutt is the best alternative social network I've ever found. the development community & the rest of the community are largely awesome, and they actually have a ton of funding.
I believe the actual number is 0. Would be pleased to hear otherwise.
The company mentioned to give the money, "Dfinity", has no mention of Scuttlebutt on their Twitter, Medium, or company website. I can only seem to find things related to the Dfinity token presale and airdrop, which I assume is an ICO.
Scuttlebutt would greatly benefit from having a real source of funding. If anyone can provide proof Scuttlebutt is now funded please post it here.
The grants issued this month are for client maintenance/features, hosted pubs, and on-boarding.
FWIW, most SSB talk happens on SSB, and "Funded" has a very different meaning to the VC world.
