      may or may not fit the bill, but check out https://reticulum.network/.

      Description from their page:

      The vision of Reticulum is to allow anyone to operate their own sovereign communication networks, and to make it cheap and easy to cover vast areas with a myriad of independent, interconnectable and autonomous networks.

      I’ve been trying it out and it feels a lot like the early web and there’s a few cool projects building on top of the reticulum network:

      • Nomad Network: A terminal based program that provides multiple features.
      • Sideband: An Android/Linux/MacOS client that supports messaging, voice calls and various other features.
      • MeshChatX: A modern multi-platform client.
      • RetiBBS: A bulletin board system for the reticulum network.
      • Columba: A modern reticulum network messaging client for Android.

      If anyone happens to try it out, shoot me a message at 4187fa0d2254b521d243c42448e81206!

        Hello random Lemming! Just wanted to thank you for this. I consider myself pretty well versed in tech and had not heard of Reticulum. More importantly, reading the docs it feels like I’m reading the writings of someone I agree with on a fundamental level - even about their departure from the public project.

        Going to give it a whirl.

        Again thanks
