  “People” will just comply. Tech savvy people like us are the only ones that could circumvent it

    One… Disappointing fact is that means at least the Internet will go back to the pre-social media era.

    You can feel it here on Lemmy still. It exists.

    Except if the topic is wifi meshnets, no amount of tech savvyness will get you around an absence of other nodes nearby. General apathy is actually a huge problem here.

      I used to think about this via mesh networks as simply routers, but now with nostr, IPFS, atProto and that new BT messaging stuff Jack Dorsey is on. Technically you could utilize your phone as an access point to the mesh network as you move around the city and load all the comms in the background. The latency would be high, but it could work. Also with 5g tech nowadays long range mesh networks are much more feasible albeit probably expensive for a hobbyist.

        Are there now legal means to do longer range communications? I thought the main limitation was you need to be licensed to do anything more than short range home wifi

    Except we'll have to keep using it because the rest of our families and friends are going to still be on there or pester us about why we aren't there with them to share photos of your sister-in-law's baby photos and videos and your aunt Tammy's vacation photos.
