(2024-10-28) Meet ii, a new old distributed plaintext communication network
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember FidoNet? Now, imagine something like that but much simpler and over
TCP/IP (as of now, even over HTTP(S)). This is a very vague description of
what I'm gonna talk about.
As lightweight protocols are among my hobbyist interests, I was delighted to
find out about the existence of such a protocol as ii. Gopher, Nex, Spartan,
Gemini etc. are nice but they don't solve the problem of distributed
communication. Email does but it's too complex and bulky. Misfin is fine for
one-to-one communication but totally impractical for mailing lists or so. We
really need something like Usenet/FidoNet but without all the crutches of
the past.
