not sure where to begin
Yes, but only via a MQTT broker. Meshtastic isn't LoRaWAN so it doesn't include that type of capability by default, but I'm not the expert on that aspect of it. If you check out the docs at meshtastic.org, and the Discourse forum link at the top of that site you might be able to find better answers to that question.

I got tired of not being able to text my friends, so I found a solution: $30 DIY LoRa personal mesh nodes with Meshtastic!
I know a lot of people have the problem of not being able to reliably get in contact with friends, and walkie talkies are basically useless unless you get somewhere quiet. I knew there had to be a way to get texting over walkie talkies or something similar, so I did some googling and came across this project called Meshtastic.

LoRa Text Messaging Networks
That is the very 1st item that https://meshtastic.org/ does:
-
are there any private voice and text chat apps for local areas over wifi or bluetooth? for android?

- Current best mesh network app?

Any not so obvious alternative ways to access the internet,communication or information during shtf
Software / app: https://meshtastic.org/ Meshtastic is one of the apps you can run on your devices AND is the firmware provider for the Lora devices. So you flash the device with meshtastic, install the app on the phone, pair the phone with the lora, and start chatting.

Open Source Communication Radio Network - Meshtastic
There's this really cool project that uses inexpensive radios that can communicate over kilometers to build a "mesh network."

Reticulum Development Roadmap
Related programs such as Sideband and Nomadnet has also had their repositories updated with more visible roadmaps.
-
Are any of you actually working on privacy-related projects?
I have built a few simple communications tools with Reticulum, Nomadnet and Sideband.
-
Is there a good chat application for using just over your home ethernet?
While it is definitely not for everyone, you could take a look at Nomad Network and Sideband.
-
Using a Th-d74a for more than APRS and Winlink?
If you are in a country that does not disallow encryption on ham radio, you can look at Nomad Network (https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet) or some of then other things you can do with the Reticulum stack (https://reticulum.network).
- Nomadnet is a resilient and encrypted mesh communications platform for the terminal
- Preparing for a possible shutdown of the internet

LoRa Text Messaging Networks
Reticulum + LXMF can scale to thousands (or millions) of nodes, and can use LoRa (and many other things) as a physical layer. Nomadnet is a client that allows both instant messaging and delayed-delivery messages (like email): https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet
What are some alternatives?
When comparing meshtastic and NomadNet you can also consider the following projects:
disaster-radio - A (paused) work-in-progress long-range, low-bandwidth wireless disaster recovery mesh network powered by the sun.
Reticulum - The cryptography-based networking stack for building unstoppable networks with LoRa, Packet Radio, WiFi and everything in between.
