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?
