"...Bastyon platform, which is a unique parallel network that does not depend on Internet..."

I have made networks before, and set up my first network in 1987. These networks are not global, but Local Area Networks (LANs). There is only one global network we have access to: the internet. That is why the link to Bastyon you provide above is an internet address.

All you have to do is look at the back of your computer to see that only one internet cable connects you to Bastyon, BTC, Hive, Youtool, and every other internet resource. There is no separate wire(s) that connects you to Bastyon or BTC. You connect to Bastyon, Odysee, and Youtool using your internet browser, because all three of them are on the internet and use TCP/IP.

"The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria. The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet Protocol (IP). Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA."

You can tell https://bastyon.com is on the internet because that is an internet address, just like https://odysee.com and https://www.youtube.com. That's why your browser can access all of them, and why you can access them having only internet access. You'll notice the latter has a 'www' in it's address, which signifies it is part of the World Wide Web that is an internal network to the internet. That doesn't mean that Youtool isn't on the internet. It means the World Wide Web is a subset of the internet. Different protocols operate within the global internet protocol, and there are many of them, including Hive, BTC, and IRC.

My friend, don't let this trouble you. It's just a fact, like the stone bones of the Earth itself. You connect to the internet to access Bastyon, Youtool, IRC, and every other site and subnet available to you, just like you walk to the store, the library, and every other place you access on the Earth, and never take a step on some other planet.

Just as you can walk, ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, a unicycle, a bus, a car, and big Mack trucks to physically traverse streets to your destinations on Earth, you can use software protocols to access different parts of the internet, BTC wallets, Hive wallets, Youtool, IRC, Odysee, and etc. All the streets are on Earth, and all those protocols and data are on the internet.

When you lose internet access, you lose access to Bastyon, BTC, and IRC because they are not on separate, parallel network infrastructure from the internet, but are only on the internet. Since you do not have access to a separate, parallel network to the internet, if they were on separate, parallel networks you would not have access to them. You access them through the internet, which they are all part of.
