They should be able to scale better than DHT based meshes, or at least that is what led one of the co-creators of CJDNS into creating Yggdrasil. Basically the problem was, since cjdns is source route...

I have the impression that these people are deeply unserious, they are just trying to make something cool that works on their playground.

Maybe it is my fault, but my impression is that they sell IPFS, FIPS or Yggdrasil as world-changing technologies that could replace the centralized mainstream things we currently have, even if it's a long shot.

For a while, I believed, and I think most people believe otherwise they wouldn't be investing their time in these things. But the creators probably don't care about the long term.

It's the same with Nostr, by the way. Nostr can work just fine with a billion people, that was the most important thing about it. Meanwhile it's clear, obvious if you think for more than 5 minutes that stuff like Mastodon and Bluesky can't, yet people are investing in these things as if they can.

It was naïve of me to think that most people interested in these things want to actually improve the world communication and were just misguided or dumb, it's more likely that they just don't care.

I see where you are coming from and that may be true for some of these projects, like Yggdrasil really started as a research thing. However I don’t think that applies to CJDNS and FIPS. nostr:npub1mh5a6mhm4u78glqxhltq7uexv6kddphycthlguvn0ux8ch72tc8q6q233h , the creator of CJDNS, the oldest of t...

I used to be a bit more optimistic about FIPS, thanks. Are you possibly aware of any adequate alternative with similar properties (something that prioritizes performance over anonymity, not the Tor-like stuff)?
