    I've seen several bigger Meshtastic networks in Europe that suffer from a dramatic unreliability.Everything beyond 1 Hop is often unusable. The public chat room only sees fragments of discussions. This causes big frustration within the community.MT clients are just too chatty. That most Roles can act as a (delayed) Router was IMHO a bad design decision.Also that they blocked the term "Meshcore" on their Reddit Sub leaves a bad taste. Both projects share similar problems - they should cooperate instead of fight each other.

    (The two amazon links for the antenna upgrade and pair of radios is swapped, if you're looking for the one, click the other)

    The Meshtastic list of networks is nice, but it is missing several. For example, the lack of listings in North Carolina led me to find https://ncmesh.net/.

    Are meshtastic nodes still spamming their battery status over the network?Have they figured out that flood routing is a terrible routing mechanism?

    Yay! Now you can enjoy the 8543 device roles Meshtastic has to offer, and see the static position and battery level eating away at airtime utilization.How exciting!Meshtastic is a bad protocol developed by toxic people in way over their heads.Beware of using their trademark! They’ll send you a cease and desist letter.

    I'm ignorant of mesh technologies, but can somebody explain to me why they are using MQTT in their stack? Topics and pub-sub over TCP doesn't sound like a mesh-y kind of thing. Does it work well in this context?
