For context this is what the whole #Boston #MeshCore map looks like right now.
The bulk of all traffic is concentrated around the area of #NoKings downtown.
The #mesh is certainly doing its job right now.
Community run, #decentralized, #encrypted, open-access #infrastructure at work.
Seeing an increase in #MeshCore traffic around the downtown #Boston area today. Glad to see folks out using it during #NoKings.
This is an example of community-run, #decentralized, off-the-grid #mesh networking #infrastructure playing an important role in society.
Folks are reporting that cell phones are essentially unusable due to the volume of people but MeshCore and Meshtastic are both functioning.

@alberto_cottica @pluralistic alternative networks, federated networks, coops as ISPs & wireless mesh network community providers are beloved by their members & users - here’s an (oldish) RFC describing them : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7962.html
Plus I’m plugging in my project to build #LikaNet near #LikaLodge with @battlemesh , a commons “ISP” 2b beloved ;)

@pluralistic Cory, these are really great data points. There is an antecedent: municipal socialism in the 19th century in parts of Europe, including my native Emilia Romagna, in Italy. There it was not (always) coops, but City Halls building up substantial investments, including utilities (energy, water, waste...) and transit. Eventually some of those companies federated to serve millions of people.
Something for your Green New Deal world?

When the fascists in power get desperate, I suspect they'll try to limit access to the internet, or find a way to shut it down in some way so we can't use it to organize against them (HIM). I've been looking for some alternative tech and had heard about this Mesh stuff, so I'm going to need to dive in and educate myself.
So is there anyone out there who uses and knows about this Mesh stuff?

Qualcuno mi sa indicare una app valida, un messanger, da usare senza internet, in rete mesh?
GRAZIE
I've been busy as hell this past week.
A lot of people have been asking hard questions about the security of LoRa systems when they hear about mesh radios.
I'm not one to trust the marketing so I and several friends put together two new LoRa tools to help us audit the security claims of LoRa mesh systems!
🤘🏿 📡 ✨

Good news, there's an unreal amount of interest in meshcore lately.
My community came together and group purchased 20 nodes and have rapidly been onboaring tons of new LoRa curious hackers.
It looks like I might have single handedly increased the user base of the Seattle meshcore user base by 10 - 20%.

Sounds like Bitchat was truly vibe coded and the key system in place was just not doing anything.
There’s a future to mesh and decentralized messaging protocol. But you can’t vibe code that shit.

Joined the Wellington mesh tonight!
Communicated with a friend ~60km away, over the Remutaka Range, using Meshtastic (LoRa @ 915Mhz) instead of the internet.
