  If that’s the only gripe you have, then it just seems like you’re looking for reasons to not use this technology.

  That’s okay, it’s not for everyone. If you prefer to use your HAM radio, by all means feel free to do so and occupy those frequencies.

  Myself and others in the Meshtastic community will still welcome you with open arms, if and when you decide to check it out.

    No I think it’s actually kinda cool, but not useful for many. That’s completely fine.

    I just wanted to point out that decentralization wasn’t an improvement over radio.

      Ahh fair enough. I can see where you’re coming from.

      I find the added redundancy to be a beneficial addition in my scenario, particularly for emergency situations where cell service is out (due to overuse/congestion).

      These don’t need multiple points of redundancy to work but it does add peace of mind imo. Decentralization is a core principle of Meshtastic so that’s also another strong point that pushed me towards the protocol.

      But I can respect not everyone has the same requirements or interests :)
