I'm not a huge fan of the current activitypub twooter alternative for a number of reasons that aren't really important, but one idea I do like is not needing to rely on the public infrastructure. I've been thinking about things I could do with this:

• 802.11 but in adhoc mode, but the drivers and support for this is complicated and 802.11 radios eat power like crazy
• BLE but no one who's ever written BLE code was happy about it
• LoRa but that's very low-bandwidth

What would it mean to be independently networked?
