More evidence we need a form of mesh network peer to peer bridge to the open social web for time of internet blackouts. #iran

OK fully dig the "Meshiverse" as a name. And am looking around to see if any efforts to bridge the Meshiverse into the Fediverse... so that when areas have internet black outs the mesh networks can survive, but when they hit a node that evnetually gets back on Internet protocol, it then bridges over to the open social web.
For instance Iran now has a near full internet black out so no good ways to get news on the ground out via IP.
That bridge seems like it could be #Reticulum. I usually hate getting YT links in response to something like this but this one really shows the possibilities.
Stewarding the Digital Commons
Beyond the extractive models of venture capital and the burnout of unsupported altruism lies a third way: stewarding our essential digital infrastructure as a commons. Let's build a sustainable future for open source.

I can't put my finger on it but I have been seeing more content about #meshtastic #meshcore and #Reticulum recently.
Maybe it's my algorithms but I've had IRL friends bring it up independently and we've all already built/bought radios and joined our local net (meshtastic for now).
As I'm learning more about these projects, the more I think we could get a real effective mesh going, even if for basic comms at first.
