The recent announcement by Russian authority Roskomnadzor regarding tighter restrictions on the use of Telegram will cause a shift in communication protocols among cyber threat-actors. We may see an increased adoption of alternatives such as Tox and its variants, Wickr, and more widely used platforms like Signal.

We all need to be staying ahead of the evolving threat-actors; otherwise, we risk falling behind.

The website definitely looks more slick than https://tox.chat/ but I have trouble seeing what the advantage over that existing decentralised system is. #tox

The aim of the P2P Basel workshop is to bring together researchers and software builders to share insights and collaborate towards the sound and sustainable development of efficient eventually-consistent (offline-first) peer-to-peer systems. Examples of related projects of interest are Secure #Scuttlebutt , DAT/Hypercore , Cabal , #Tox, BitMessage , #IPFS , Socket Supply co., #OrbitDB , Earthstar , Willow , #Nostr , #Holochain , #P2Panda , #GNUnet , #Hyphanet , #Freenet , #Zeronet , #Retroshare , #NextGraph , #Web3 , #serverless , #maidsafe , #matrix , Other P2P projects that are based on stronger consistency models, such as Mass Market are also of interest.

A 'mesh' is just a variety of describing a network, one which is generally self-organizing. As you can guess, the definition is extremely flexible.

#Tox is an example of a #p2p #mesh used to create a message exchange network focused on #privacy. It uses e2ee, and allows exchange of instant messages, as well as e2ee video calls. There are multiple implementations, rather like the Mastodon protocol has multiple platforms.
