    Reticulum is in its infancy and does what you describe (and can use any communication medium), but that kind of separate intranet system is difficult to search the way the Internet is. It would be like Discord where the inability to search it (unless you have already joined the relevant Discord) makes it hated as a replacement for forums.

      That is interesting, I’ll make a note of it.

      but that kind of separate intranet system is difficult to search the way the Internet is.

      Yes, but node operators would probably be best encouraged to run simple indexer searches, especially in a system where agreements could be made about how hard-hitting said searches should be (and a mutual respect for robots.txt and the like). I’ll be honest and say that the Internet has been barely searchable for at least half a decade, if not a whole decade if I were critical.
