MODERATORS
Meshtastic is so easy to kneecap. A couple of people deploy tracker nodes broadcasting GPS once a second, or someone thinks it is a bright idea to run a router node inside a house and a multi-city mesh becomes useless.
It does not scale well.
Hopefully MeshCore keeps good growth. Seems much more stable and reliable.
Does one need a friend to make use of this, or is there a community? Like some kind of group chat or something? ๐

You can check your location there and see if any nodes are listed in your area for a starting point, what the others said too.
Nice....quite a few in my area by the looks of things!
There is probably more than what is shown. Not every posts theirs to the site and some don't keep theirs on/charged always.
