many people who have joined have related their extended stints on communities Reddit, Dig, Slashdot, or even older places like Usenet, and i'm super interested in what your best memories and favorite experiences on places like that have been in your time using them

What kind of meshnet was it? I really enjoyed the time that I spent on a distributed chan that existed on tor! It was very slow and not like 4chan etc at all.

It was on a CJDNS meshnet program where it connects to note/router via UDP on public internet but when you are connected, you can connect to computers via IPv6 addresses that basically tunnel your connection through end to end encrypted meshnet protocol.

Originally, we had Hyperboria network (it also have a reddit clone that is used to be called Uppit.us) and eventually there were a splinter group that set out to create an archivist meshnet where we can share and distribute academic papers and documentations. It basically stagnant as alternatives crop up for archiving documents and people peruse that network less and less.

ah CJDNS! Heard about it, but never used it.

If we have used it everywhere on the Internet, advertisers would get booted off of it so fast. Meshnet is basically friend to friend network, so it is self regulating in a sense that if someone abuses the network, they can get depeered.
