Are there internet-like protocols where you can daisy chain transmission of text and pictures from device to device over WiFi or Bluetooth? Seems like we see these situations pop up fairly frequently and there would be some value in being able to spread communications that way without an ISP.

Yeah that'll be nice to setup with the technically challenged during missile strikes

@mojo I guess we need to set it all up in advance.

Tbh the way I see it, the first way forward is decentralization, like the platform we're talking on right now. From there, I think the next step is portable accounts and mesh nets on top of our decentralization networks. That it should be a combination of the two, with mesh networking be redundancy for when situations like this happen. That's what I think the optimal end goal with communication should be imo.

@mojo yes! That sounds really good. I know it might seem idealistic but I really feel like decentralization is freeing us from more constraints than we realize.
