gollark: And as I said, I want people to be able to run their own skynet servers which still share messages with the main ones.
gollark: I would need separate geographically distributed servers. Skynet just runs off one which is about ten metres from me at home.
gollark: Rednet does it the lazy way - rebroadcast everything everywhere and discard seen ones - but that is wasteful.
gollark: The problem is that I don't want a tree sort of topology, since that would mean that if a node went down it would fragment the network horribly, and routing messages through a mesh is *hard*.
