I’ve recently discovered meshtastic and related tech. With the trust vacuum around cell phones and data scraping and tracking etc, I basically assume the government et al can see what’s up on my iphone constantly.

For interpersonal communication regarding civil disobedience, protest, resistance etc-- do LoRa devices offer an actual solution? or am I very mistaken?

I’m posting from a laptop that I converted to Linux (not tech savvy so that was a project) from behind a VPN- genuinely looking to hear from smarter people than me regarding privacy and secure communication

    Well, my experience with Meshtastic is: Make the shittiest least finished chat app you can think of, and then give it a range most efficiently measured in inches.

    Instead of using Meshtastic, just raise your voice a little, then you don’t have to spend money on shitty little Chinese-made circuit boards.
