@marsik @daks ok, you're talking mainly about hardware/maintenance and the problems of initial tech people involved getting burnout and needing compensation for their work. I saw a lot of that in the early days of the internet with ISP conglomeration and small ISPs cashing out. Assumedly some of them were enthusiasts before being ISPs. But this scene seems to be more like HAM radio (with many of the same people, haha), and that makes it a bit different. That HAM radio clubs have never gone away, and have never been a target for commercialisation, gives me hope that mesh radio can be a different beast, and Reticulum a bridge between radio nerd world and civilians - many LoRa radios now are plug n play, (fairly) user friendly to non-nerds.
