Oye Fedilowda!

In The Expanse universe, there are forums that are propagated over high-latency links. Different forums are eventually consistent so that everyone can see all the same content.

The only real difference is that a private message in our universe goes to the specific server for the recipient, whereas in The Expanse, a message is encrypted and broadcasted and relayed until the recipient is able to retrieve it from their local node (yes, this is possible cryptographically).

If it feels like The Fediverse is the future... that's because it is.
