Start your own Internet Resiliency Club
Meshtastic is fun but limited—more of a radio chat app than real mesh infrastructure. If you're serious about decentralized comms, check out Reticulum: https://reticulum.network
It’s not limited to LoRa—Reticulum works over IP, serial, packet radio, or whatever you have. Delay-tolerant, multi-hop, encrypted, no servers needed. Still lots of work to do and apps to build, but the foundation is solid.
Great talk from EH22: https://media.ccc.de/v/eh22-97-eggceptional-meshnetworking

Have you seen Reticulum[0] yet? How much overlap does the Mycoria networking layer have with it?

I've been checking out https://reticulum.network/ which does the same thing as meshtastic, but encrypted. Looks like it's in the early stages though.

Reticulum Is Unstoppable Networks for the People
https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/tree/6ded42edd7ae203e...
I am struggling to understand who the overlap between people who can accurately assess the risk of each of these implementations and correctly find them ok (graduate level cryptography?) and people who cannot get pyca or openssl to compile is.
For offline operation maybe a case could be made that timing side channels aren't an issue in practice, but this is explicitly network software.

Private, Secure and Uncensorable Messaging over a LoRa Mesh
There is a similar thread up here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41253922
The author of this blog post is the developer of Reticulum, which is a complete network stack and full-fledged alternative to TCP/IP. (https://reticulum.network/). Reticulum is capable of operating over not just LoRa, but bluetooth low energy, standard WiFi, Packet Radio, and overlay networks like Tor and I2P.
