#2This page uses a lot of words to explain almost nothing, the linked “introduction” page is similar.
Is this a thing I can sign up to? How does it make my life better? All I can tell so far is that it’s secure and some kind of social network
Compare this to the WhatsApp landing page: https://www.whatsapp.com/
Edit: looks like it’s a framework for building apps, still unclear to me if it’s usable or any apps exist for it yet

Well, to me they don't look as if they'd like to be like WhatsApp. The product mustn't be finished yet and this is probably just some info to atract possible users, programmers and people who'd like to contribute. You can subscribe to their newsletter anyways (if that's what you want)

I've built https://lastochka.network — an encrypted social network myself and did not get what this project is all about by reading this page…

This is true about anything GNUnet related, really.

It links to this page (from 2011 - any day now, right?):

Yes, the overwhelming impression is that they'd like to avoid being like WhatsApp in that they don't want to have any users.
Even if you are hoping to contribute, the "Getting Started" section which actually details what exists of the project is buried down at the bottom of the page - and that section is the closest the site comes to giving a proper explanation of what secushare actually is in terms of technology. The rest is waffle.

From the "Getting Started" section:
> secushare is a research project that hasn't reached prototype status, yet. Consider that it basically consists of a new Internet stack combined with a full-fledged distributed scalability alternative to cloud technology. The challenge is so big, please be patient that we're not done quite yet.
(I agree that the homepage is not clear at all btw)

#9for those wondering if there are more tangible alternatives, check out the “social” apps on Blockstack (sadly there's no way to filter/sort).
EDITED: fixed to use a public URL.

I still find this image of GNUnet-GTK hilarious:
