We have meshtastic, which is a mesh network for radio communications. How can we create something like that for the internet? And, ideally, how do we then host the fediverse platforms on it?

    Yea but it would be fine for the important shit like news, weather, alerts. Especially for neighborhood mesh alert systems.

      Yeah only issue is if everyone was checking or posting their own updates through the mesh it would get bogged down with collisions. But that might improve if there more devices in a given area. Right now you have Bottleneck’s where there is only one link between 2 groups nodes.
