@mojo I guess we need to set it all up in advance.

Tbh the way I see it, the first way forward is decentralization, like the platform we're talking on right now. From there, I think the next step is portable accounts and mesh nets on top of our decentralization networks. That it should be a combination of the two, with mesh networking be redundancy for when situations like this happen. That's what I think the optimal end goal with communication should be imo.

@mojo yes! That sounds really good. I know it might seem idealistic but I really feel like decentralization is freeing us from more constraints than we realize.
