#Meshtastic and #Meshcore are the gateway drug. #Reticulum (or something similar) should be the endgame.
If we're serious about network resilience and real independence from third-party infrastructure, not just being hobbyist cool, we need a technology-agnostic convergence layer rather than depending on LoRa for everything.

@py2toz@mastodon.radio Well, what about plain old IP protocol? It does not depend on the media (there are wifi, ethernet, fiber, microwave...) and it can do dynamic routing (we use it every day in the form of BGP, but others are possible). Even the old HAM packet radio supports IP over AX25 over HF or VHF / UHF.

@py2toz@mastodon.radio “gateway” is a good operative word, but probably for other reasons. #reticulum is too complicated. Much of the appeal of these #LoRa meshes is in their simplicity. Their limitations are ok because pretty much anyone can use them.

@py2toz@mastodon.radio It seems that most of the early adopters of Meshtastic seem to be ham radio folks.
