Signal is among the most prominent platforms to make such a threat while speaking out against Bill C-22, while VPN providers have also threatened to leave or curtail services.
The vision of Reticulum is to allow anyone to operate their own sovereign communication networks, and to make it cheap and easy to cover vast areas with a myriad of independent, interconnectable and autonomous networks.
I’ve been trying it out and it feels a lot like the early web and there’s a few cool projects building on top of the reticulum network:
Nomad Network: A terminal based program that provides multiple features.
Sideband: An Android/Linux/MacOS client that supports messaging, voice calls and various other features.
Hello random Lemming! Just wanted to thank you for this. I consider myself pretty well versed in tech and had not heard of Reticulum.

The author intends to work at their pace, on their time, with no interaction with the public projects.

But also, the very rare and important consideration that, in their words, “Everything you need is right here, and by any sensible measure, it’s done. Anyone who wants to invest the time, skill and persistence can build on it, or completely re-imagine it with different priorities.”
This is why we need self-postable infrastructure, so that you can just operate and open Defiance of the law
