It will be interesting to see how the globalist tyrants will hijack #NOSTR just like they're hijacking #Bitcoin.
Will they make laws telling ISPs to only allow traffic from KYC'ed NOSTR accounts?

By that point I bet we end up with reticulum networked start9 homelabs
We'll just use mesh networks then.
They no longer have trump cards with the set of technologies available to us now, thanks to decades of effort from cypherpunks and other freedom devs
They took down the last mesh network code that had phones talking directly to each other.
Briar does this over Bluetooth and WiFi.
They hihack things by creating illegal regulation that infringes on unalienable rights, and convincing the masses that it is justifiable because of "democracy"
The masses comply, and what a few freedom fighters do amongst themselves becomes irrelevant.
Ah the mythical mesh network made by the mythical freedom dev. Paid by mythical Bitcoins amirite?
Nothing mythical about mesh networks.

to name a few.
And there's nothing mythical about the other two things you mentoined either, just look around the protocol you're using right now. Existence proofs abound.
Those a wireless networks. But are they "mesh", other than the name? Can I see a map of the topology? Melbourne had one like that once: https://www.melbournewireless.org.au/ It mostly worked by one guy installing an antenna on thebl roof of a skyscraper and everyone pointing theirs at that. 🤣
they have 2370 nodes (and yes, a few "supernodes" like you're describing). the topology is good. it is absolutely a mesh in more than name.
When hurricaine Sandy hit new york, some neighborhoods were completely cut off and only had their mesh peers - which was able to provide important local connectivity to those people.
This looks somewhat promising. The supernodes are worrying ofc. Real mesh networks usually exhibit more of a small-world topology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-world_network
