802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLOW: The 1 Kilometer WiFi Standard
When we talk about decentralization, we seldom think about the hardware connection to our ISPs. If our ISP or the government pulls the plug, we're completely left in the dark. This is where independent 5G access comes in:

Cool, thanks!
Instead of running a private relay just so as not to lose your post history, why couldn't we have a Nostr client which backups up everything up on our behalf?
Some newer languages I've stumbled upon recently:
Vlang
Zig
Odin
Jai
Unison
Nim
ts-fp
Lobster
Grain

I think the technology used by Nostr would allow it to be used in a Sneakernet environment.
Another similar solution, after watching Rabble's YT video "Nostr for Normies"; TrustNet.
How can a Nostr community on Nostr have so few members? Where is everyone hiding? I see 5 members. Is that because I'm not using a popular relay?
Actually, the solution described here is exactly what I had in mind. I believe he calls it "a shallow web of trust"?
Advantages (quote):
- There's no subreddit ownership, so they can't be bought or sold.
- There's no censorship apart from what users implicitly opt in to.
- There's no clique of old mods imposing their will on new users for eternity, instead there's contributors who are currently trusted by some segment of the current user base, and these change over time.
- Downvotes carry a reputation risk - moderation abuse is public and controversial moderation decisions will cause trust in that moderator to be lost.
- Echo chambers can only form around those who really want to be in an echo chamber, they don't get to force the rest of us to live in their petty little filter bubble.
Is Nostr the most mainstream decentralized Twitter alternative now?
Communites without moderation?
I want to start a Reddit-like community for my organization but I don't feel it's right that I should be the moderator just because I am the one who initiates it. I want the community to be a place for everyone to share their thoughts anonymously, without censorship. Is there a Nostr NIP or client that would allow this but without "moderators"? Maybe using some kind of mechanism where everything is voted for by the community? or maybe some kind of reputation system? I'd like to avoid giving authority to anyone in particular.
