@PH4NTXMOFFICIAL Ah, I see. What a tragedeigh.
@PH4NTXMOFFICIAL How TF do you pronounce your name?
@UrbanCityCowboy I would love to know more about how you used it and other ways that can be used. What came to my mind was to take down a printed advertisement from a community bulletin board, change the QR code for their website to an encrypted QR code then place the new copy back on the board so someone else could retrieve that message at a later time without broadcasting any metadata over monitored networks. This would make it much more difficult to know who is talking to each other.
@ambiguous_yelp In practical terms, Reticulum can allow two people to have encrypted communications that can be routed either over the internet (IP, TOR, I2P, ETC) or a local multi city wide mesh network using LoRa radios. If the internet goes down or is blocked in someway, people could still have encrypted communications with Reticulum.
@ambiguous_yelp I'm still learning too so some details might be wrong but Yggdrasil seems focused on encrypted ipv6 mesh without as much privacy focus whereas reticulum is more privacy focused, lightweight, non-ip networking stack using LXMF that can route messages many different ways such as LoRa>I2P>TOR>LoRa again to reach destinations up to 128 hops.
Pros: lightweight, capable of global sized meshes
Cons: Needs specific software (if LoRa then also hardware), isn't quantum resistant (AFAIK)

@ambiguous_yelp I saw that you recommended Meshtastic here. You might also find #reticulum interesting. It's an e2e networking stack that can work over the internet like standard encrypted messengers, LoRa radio like #meshtastic (but with actually strong encryption), and many other transport links like Tor, i2p, or even encrypted QR code. Super interesting tech. https://reticulum.network/
@jonah from @privacyguides recently also made a blog post about it too.
