Why is this getting downvoted? Is there some kind of meshtastic hater community I havwn’t heard about?

  I’d expect because OP just shotgunned a bunch of meshtastic posts, to the point where people feeds are starting to look spammy.

    Oh, now I see it. Not cool,@adrelien@lemmy.radio
    
    This is not a good way to promote the Meshtastic community.

I don’t get why having your own radio mesh when you can use existing ones with encrypted connections and not spend in hardware or having to carry stuff with you like in the 90s cellphones.

  Maybe I misunderstood you, but how can you use existing ones without carrying a node?

    By software . Example, Tailscale.
