Not really. Meshtastic simply does not support high enough bandwidth options.

As someone already pointed out, Reticulum is much better suited for this since it's more agnostic to the underlying method of transport.

    Find in page returned one result for "reticulum," and it was yours. Sometimes everything doesn't federate for everyone at the same time.

    Anyway my point wasn't that it can right now, just that necessity is the mother of invention/innovation. I'll look into reticulum at some point, I just finished vacuuming and mopping after work, and need to clean myself up. Thanks for mentioning it to me.

    Meshtastic doesn't have the ability, ever, to be able to do more than rudimentary texts. The frequency bands it operates on simply won't be able to handle more than that, and if it ever became mainstream in any way, it certainly wouldn't be able to handle anything more than text.

    Sure be awesome to have another way to text people, it just will never be an alternative to the internet or sending memes on a SM.
