21 21  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.

29 29  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.
