I had similar issues with Meshtastic's traceroute. Have you tried Meshcore? The design is a bit different in that it keeps the client nodes and repeaters separate, and repeaters are meant to be kept in more stable positions. I bring it up because in Meshcore you can manually select specific pathways to probe and analyze hops in greater detail. If there is an active Meshcore network in your area you might want to give it a try. It runs on the same hardware, so you can flip between systems, but the meshes cannot interact.

    I think similarly...

    Hypothetically: I spent my childhood and early teens using teleportation machines and I never had an issue. As a teenager, I learn about people who are strongly opposed to teleportation. People around me talk negatively about these people, and are perhaps annoyed at the laws that are made to accommodate those who choose not to teleport. They are seen as a nuisance because they complicate workplace dynamics because they don't want to do something simple and convenient that most in society do. The belief they hold makes most people uncomfortable because of the philosophical implication.

    So, as a teenager, I realize that to become a 'non-teleporter' I need to accept that I have already chosen to destroy myself multiple times, and that my family and friends who leave are not the same that come back. It would be so difficult to make this philosophical mind-shift and stop teleporting so that copy #4,242 gets to live.

    I am thinking of a case where it is 'disintegration' and 're-integration', but making use of some physics that prevent making a copy. For example, let's say that the mechanism relies on a step for which the 'no-cloning theorem' applies. In this hypothetical scenario, a commonly held belief is that the inability to make a copy retains the person's identity. It is a similar logic to how a person remains who they are from childhood and through adulthood despite the atoms that compose them changing over time.

    I think both statements are true - not all knowledge is recorded by academia, and academia is heavily western biased.

    What I suspect is that the down-votes are because the first user was using hyperbole to make a positive comment about our ability to archive these documents and their value. The response points out something that is evident - obviously academic papers do not hold all human knowledge - and shifts the conversation into a not so casual topic of western biases. This sudden shift of the conversation from friendly-casual to geopolitical with little motivation can make some users upset.

    OR, as the other person suggested, maybe the mention of 'western bias' is enough to trigger some.

    I tried to make a comment on that site and it was simply not possible for me to do it while implementing basic privacy-preserving techniques like using a VPN or even through a pre-paid sim card. I think that their 'anti-bot/anti-spam' mechanisms push users to de-anonimize quite strongly. Honey pot makes sense to me.
