@js 👍😁 Setting up Freifunk routers everywhere. But most time I‘m the only one doing it close to me.
@js Freifunk would work without the Internet if there were enough nodes. 😉
Hm~ I don't see how this works for anything that either wants to hide metadata, or anything that tries to provide realtime communications.
I also don't see why anything else encourages centralization. Are you thinking of web as content dissemination (as opposed to small group communication) network?
@robryk @lazarus I’m thinking of the server-client model inherently leading to servers growing bigger and bigger, until they are run by big corporations and users letting them host all their content.
Realtime communications would still be possible and mostly be limited by the latency of a mesh network.
Anyway, I’m drunk and not going to write a design doc now ^^.
@robryk @lazarus Rather than addressing computers, addressing content. Shout into the network “I want XYZ” or “I offer ABC”. But no central routing and not one server serving thousands of clients where you then have centralization around the server.
