Meshtastic. I don't use it yet, but it is something interesting that I've kinda been low-key obsessed about.

Eventually, telecoms are gonna require IDs, internet service will require IDs. Computers will have DRMs and "AI" scanning your device to censor stuff.

Meshtashtic could be the backbone of a new "internet". One that's free from corporate control. We could build a forum on top of it.

Lol, I'm pretty deep into meshtastic but there is no chance that LoRa could be the backbone of a new internet. Bandwidth is far too low

🤣 how many chars is this? Would it make it past the 200 character limit?

Reticulum would be much closer as it supports many different forms of networking

And Lora is by itself proprietary isn't it?

[–] mmmac@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Correct, I do believe there is an open source alternative but I haven't done any reading on it

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

I love these kind of things too.
