This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.

Right, but you have to be so close to each other for Bluetooth to work.
It transfers across other peers; you don’t have to have a direct connection to the recipient, just an eventual connection to them.
But you have to directly connect to other people’s devices via Bluetooth along the way, right? Like a relay race of handing over the message until you either reach a network, or the recipient?
I… don’t actually know. I wouldn’t think that would be necessary (at least manually).
If not, it goes against everything I thought I understood about Bluetooth 😆 Curious to know how it actually would work.
