I'm so sick of the political/racist/shill bullshit that I'm not super interested in contributing much to the platform anymore. It just gets buried in bullshit anyway. The entire internet is becoming a fucking time suck/echo chamber.
What else can be expected on a democratically moderated site running on a corporate/government controlled internet? Fuck fighting them. I'm going to make them obsolete. ;)
It's still running over the "corporate/government controlled internet". There's an old saw, "if voting could change anything it'd be outlawed", which applies here; if your p2p network gets irritating enough it'll be blocked.
It can't be blocked because it's voluntary, decentralized, and uses wifi, a feature that the entire darpanet relies upon. If they block wifi, we'll transmit with lasers. If they chaff the skies to the point where lasers don't work, we can set up sneakernets. Where there's a will, there's a way. We either create an alternative soon of the chances of making it happen decrease drastically once the internet becomes totally nerfed.
It all starts with meshing with neighbors. If you all went in on an unlimited 4g card and connected to it through a meshnet, you could drastically reduce everyone's internet bill. This will incentivize them to invest in node hardware. I think everyone should find alternative ways to stay connected, regardless of location. The big cities may collapse before the network has enough time to build from the cities out.
Hyerboria looks cool and is fine for small networks but it doesn't address abuse. We need a decentralized social network like diaspora that people have to put a small bitcoin bond down to join. Once signed into the network, people can access the community moderated meshnet. It wouldn't be hard to implement but I have other projects that are a much higher priority right now but someone else will figure it out eventually.

There are forces spending a lot of to make you feel that way.

That I'd like to see.

Start a p2p meshnet node in your area.

Duh, mesh network. My eyes skipped right over that.
(Unfortunateoly I don't live in the city, and the area is isolated enough I could only mesh with a few neighbors.)
