Clever!
I thought it had something to do with FidoNet, which is
a worldwide computer network that is used for communication
between bulletin board systems (BBSes). It uses
a store-and-forward system to exchange private (email) and
public (forum) messages between the BBSes in the network [1]
Sounds like a/some variety of the Usenet distributed model of
data replication and propagation, which is today known as
a "federation" or federative network architecture with
redundant data

Indeed pretty similar to

Is it client-server only there are many servers in parallel
offering the same thing?
Only I thought that was the cloud?
