Comment on The Web is Going to Die
TheMadCodger@piefed.social 2 weeks agoI jumped on Meshtastic but found it got too congested with noise in a medium-sized city making it difficult to get much out there. Switched to Meshcore and have had a much better time communicating. Seattle’s full on made it equivalent to SMS, which makes me jealous. But YMMV 🤷🏼♂️

What preset were you using at the time? I know that longfast is not the best preset for larger networks that have a lot of users.
Personally, open source matters to me much more than the speed or congestion or whatever, which is why I chose meshtastic. Because the mesh core, foam applications are not open source.
Until there is an open source version, I absolutely refuse to touch it. I know that the underlying software is open source, but without having open source interfaces, I’m still refusing to touch it.
