Meshtastic: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network
yggdrasil can use WiFi on Android, I haven't tried it yet - https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. yggdrasil gives you the ability to use TCP/IP applications over its mesh network but doesn't offer any end-user functionality itself.
Manyverse can use WiFi for decentralised social networking - https://www.manyver.se/. They're currently in the middle of a rewrite of the backend and a protocol switch away from Secure Scuttlebutt to their own protocol currently named PPPPP.
Reticulum/Sideband offers a P2P messaging system over WiFi or other mediums - https://github.com/markqvist/sideband
- Sideband v0.4.0 - with Paper Messaging and better hardware support - has been released

Reticulum Development Roadmap
Related programs such as Sideband and Nomadnet has also had their repositories updated with more visible roadmaps.

A comparison of various anonymity/privacy focusing networks
Mobile support: Yes, Android only for now though. There is an example Android messaging app that uses Reticulum here: https://github.com/markqvist/sideband. The app source code can be used as an example for others that want to use Reticulum on Android, at least until I get around to writing a full Android development guide. There is some preliminary info in the manaul on the topic here as well: https://reticulum.network/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#reticulum-on-android

3 mile text coms no license
While it still requires a few more steps to set up, a system based on Reticulum, using a client like Sideband is a lot more flexible. You can mount the radios in optimal positions, for examples on your roof or another high spot, and Reticulum can automatically bridge the LoRa and your home wifi network, so everyone on the wifi network can share the single radio on your house, without having to connect anything directly to their phones/devices. Here is how one user have utilised this during hurricane Ian.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Dear writers: Delete your Findaway Voices account NOW
Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.
https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.
Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

https://tosdr.org is good for that, why don't Mozilla just contribute to an existing project

[READ BODY TEXT BEFORE VOTING] Thoughts regarding online tracking?
I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo That Tracks Terms of Service Changes
I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org
It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.

- Ask HN: What is behind the recent wave of Terms of Service changes?
