Dont telegram and signal use centralized servers? You need both a mesh net and a p2p chat app which single and telegram are not.

  With such fractured connectivity, there's probably not much benefit in trying to abstract away the foibles of the network topology from the chat application. An ideal system would merge the network and application layers for the greatest reliability, at the expense of generality (but then a fractured meshnet is not a very general platform to begin with).

    This is a classic use case for store-and-forward. Trying to build a mesh where sender and recipient need a TCP-style connection is futile; store and forward, on the other hand, would be ideal for Twitter-style applications.

      That was basically what I was trying to get at, but your comment was much better and more succinct.
