16 16  Mutual-aid networks mean that they aim to be collaborative, through open-source licensing models, avoiding lock-ins such as walled gardens and enable interoperability between networks, communities and protocols.

20 20  Peer-to-peer networks let computers talk directly to each other instead of going through a central boss server. Every participant both gives and receives information. This makes the system more flexible, harder to break, and easier to grow.

23 23  
24 24  Local-first communication networks keep your data on your own device or nearby computers first, instead of sending everything to a big central server. The system still works even when the internet is slow or completely gone. Sharing with others happens later, when a connection is available.

38 38  P4P networks emerged around 2010, merging qualities of distributed ledgers (such as blockchain) with version control (such as git) and torrent-like data sharing. The term P4P however is more recent yet can trace it's roots back to a scuttlebutt post in 2020.
