Meshtastic: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network
Most of the mobility testing has been performed either in the meshnet-lab[1] or the pineconesim[2].
As the original author of that documentation, it's quite entertaining to have it quoted back to me. :-) In any case the routing "prefers" links labelled as the internet when there is a tiebreak between two peerings between the same pair of nodes, i.e. you are connected to some other device via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneously.
And while it is true that Pinecone cannot necessarily always make the best routing decision based on public keys alone, aggressive queue management attempts to provide the best QoS for all flows and it scales very well because nodes maintain only a small amount of state about their position in the spanning tree and their position in the SNEK. Importantly, shortcuts can and often are taken when Pinecone switches to tree-based routing as the geometric distance to the destination on the tree is evaluated at each hop. Routing "by the SNEK" is used primarily to find the remote node and as a fallback in case the tree routing fails.

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
Lots of interesting stuff there - thanks :) We're using https://github.com/mwarning/meshnet-lab rather than imunes.net for network simulation currently, but will take a look.
Power usage is looking pretty positive so far; as long as we route the Matrix traffic over the routing topology rather than going full-mesh it should minimise radio usage (the main battery suck, other than screen).
For store-and-forward, honestly using P2P Nodes as intermediaries is an okay approach other than exposing metadata to them. Our plan in the longer term is to switch to loopix-style mixnets to obfuscate the store and forwarding, a la nym.
In terms of joining the network by deriving a private key from a passphrase... yup, that could be cute, although slightly terrifying in terms of the risk of weak passphrases :)
We're hoping to get the P2P network stable in the coming year (although we were also aiming for this year originally :P)

Dislike Discord changes? Support Open Source
Check out these two clients: https://app.element.io https://cinny.in
-
India bans Element – the flagship client for the Matrix network
or Cinny, given its country of origin... (https://cinny.in)
-
Any good Discord alternatives that aren't owned or funded by companies like Tencent?
building on what the original comment said with the matrix mention, cinny.in is another option that is built with it if you wanna check it out! pretty similar layout to discord, already has encryption unlike revolt too
-
Discord alternatives?
Specifically Cinny since it mimics the look and feel of Discord
-
Element as a Discord Alternative
Keep in mind Matrix is a protocol for messaging just like email is a protocol for mail. There's more than one client and Element just so happens to be the most popular one. A really good runner-up would be FluffyChat. Then there's Cinny
-
Have any of you used a decentralized messenger before?
Matrix, is a decentralised messaging protocol. While it isn't a messenger in itself, it has various messaging clients such as Element, Cinny etc
-
Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
Cinny, a matrix client that looks and behaves like discord
-
Discord-esk encrypted platform?
Cinny is potentially the best best Matrix client that resembles Discord
-
all-in-one chat service
Other clients are available on the same network, like https://cinny.in/ or https://element.io
What are some alternatives?
NomadNet - Communicate Freely
Element - A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web.
sucks - Simple command-line script for the Ecovacs series of robot vacuums
matrix.to - A simple stateless privacy-protecting URL redirecting service for Matrix
