Don't do F2F at the lowest network layer. Just stick with I2P
The reason for laying you own F2F physical network is that the existing "internet" one is owned and monitored by entities who have absolutely zero loyalties to, or care about, you. Now if you link up to your neighbor, and they theirs... there is some notion of chain of loyalty or trust or whatever there. If it's not strong enough for you then run the logical overlay nets on top of it. But at least remove the physical layer that you use for "free speech / thought / sharing / markets" etc out of the practical physical reach of "the man"... he has no business there, and you are giving him too much insight / control of you by using the internet instead of whatever you build within your own physical meshes. And to reach between cities you could even use some of your split horizon subscriptions to the "internet" to terminate a bunch of VPN's across and between them as link aggregation.
or similar traffic anonymization networks and run your traffic on top of that. Oneswarm (now abandoned, IIRC), RetroShare, or whatever else, run that over the anonymizing networks. Inviting somebody would be a matter of sharing the public key based address to the public services and noting his public key so you can accept an invite request, or directly send an invite to private mail of his like Bote mail or Pond.
