some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

You don't have to pay relays to use nostr. Been using Nostr for a while and love it, it's an underlying protocol like AP is for Lemmy, Kbin, mastodon, etc. The main "interface" for it right now is as a twitter clone.

You don't lose your identity if your instance shuts down which is a major pro (Bluesky also has this advantage over AP). The UX is a little less polished than Mastodon but I find the underlying tech concepts more solid, privacy respecting, and censorship-resistant. For example, DMs are automatically encrypted so relay operators can't read them.
