It depends on who you are.
-
For most users, trsst looks like a microblogging social network -- a twitter clone -- where you can follow other people and news feeds.
-
For other users, trsst looks like a stream-style RSS reader with built-in microblog publishing capabilities.
-
And for a few, trsst looks like an extension to the Atom Publishing Protocol where anyone can anonymously create self-signed and/or self-encrypted feeds and entries and publish them to any participating server.
All of these are correct.
