Doubt that it would be Meshtastic, it is inherently not built for internet levels of bandwidth. But I can see a future where you have intranets that are free and community driven with something like Meshtastic with higher bandwidth and you still pay for an ISP that can give you access to the full internet (because nothing currently can replace underwater optic fiber)

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
And Lora is by itself proprietary isn’t it?
Correct, I do believe there is an open source alternative but I haven’t done any reading on it

(Roll Safe, aka: “Guy Taps Forehead” Meme)
🤣 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
I love these kind of things too.
