I'm Getting into Mesh Networks (Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum)

The author, who runs his own ISP, explores mesh networking technologies like Meshtastic as alternatives to centralized internet infrastructure that relies on major service providers and government control. Mesh networks using LoRa radio technology enable decentralized, peer-to-peer communication for messaging and information sharing without depending on ISPs or satellite providers, offering greater censorship resistance and personal sovereignty. While bandwidth-intensive services won't migrate to mesh networks, they represent a valuable resilient backup system and connectivity solution for underserved regions.
