We can build our own internet. With meshtastic. And closed networks.

    I don’t think meshtastic will scale that well

    Not really. Meshtastic simply does not support high enough bandwidth options.

    As someone already pointed out, Reticulum is much better suited for this since it's more agnostic to the underlying method of transport.

    Find in page returned one result for "reticulum," and it was yours. Sometimes everything doesn't federate for everyone at the same time.

    Anyway my point wasn't that it can right now, just that necessity is the mother of invention/innovation. I'll look into reticulum at some point, I just finished vacuuming and mopping after work, and need to clean myself up. Thanks for mentioning it to me.

    Meshtastic doesn't have the ability, ever, to be able to do more than rudimentary texts. The frequency bands it operates on simply won't be able to handle more than that, and if it ever became mainstream in any way, it certainly wouldn't be able to handle anything more than text.

    Sure be awesome to have another way to text people, it just will never be an alternative to the internet or sending memes on a SM.

    I2P and tor are gonna thrive off of this era of oppressive government surveillance, I'm excited for that. Silver lining, people may actually advocate for and use private services.

    Yeah. And 99.9% of humanity will go on using McInternet, and whatever the fuck we do won't matter and they'll still control all of society and its direction.

    I'm like 99% sure that they've written off millennials as a total loss as a generation they can control and are grooming Gen alpha to be their little human slaves. The 'smart' tech guys decided that cyberpunk dystopia was inevitable and decided to make it themselves.

    Ah ye of little faith. Build it and they will come, if we act in concert.

    that attitude got us in this mess. The internet was free before corporate interests and the series of eternal september esque events happening from '98 onward caused largely by accessibility. Whatever we come up with needs to be difficult enough to access so corporations can't turn everyone into "customers". It doesn't need to be so hard that only nerds can use, but it needs to have enough friction to require effort, thought, and interest of some kind to use
