We’ve been rolling along with weak IDs on the internet since the beginning. Strong, secure identification would change the nature of most of these problems. It would make anonymity a choice instead of an illusion, you want to be anonymous, you have to work at it. As things are, people think they’re anonymous, but they really aren’t - and yet most services treat people as if they are anonymous so people tend to act that way.

I have some friends that are thinking of investing into some HiLow systems and making our own intranet. Or a meshnet. Seems like a fun project.
And no random bot scans, no agencies, no nothing but our own sites.
The problem with closed meshnets is: scale. Do you have “critical mass” necessary to keep people engaged and returning and creating new content?

I wish meshtastic did any of that. Its more like a worse pager. Fun hobby to get into but its not all that great at reliable packets.
