OK, I really love I2P, just wish sometimes there would be ways to use it with latency and throughput approaching clearnet. I like that it's a platform solving the P2P and discovery problems for everyone in the same way and providing interfaces for that, but the privacy and security orientation means that it's mostly used for privacy and security (even pedo filesharing doesn't seem to be too many people).
Can't really do that with volunteer nodes only in open networks. Reliable low latency anonymous connections require stable direct links between most nodes. Like you'd need a bunch of big universities to run it.
@Natanael@infosec.pub @vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org this concept sounds familiar…
What you are saying is create our own internet for messaging…
Well, you could make your own overlay network, maybe make use of cjdns or something like it
