ITT: people posting on the internet about something they found out about from the internet saying that an authoritarian regime shutting down the internet because the people under that regime were using it to coordinate resistance efforts is not so bad

sorry, i'd take y'all a lot more seriously if you were having that conversation over ham radio

    For future reference, any time you want to coordinate some sort of resistance or even protest, the leadership should get on Meshtastic, MeshCore, or some other equivalent. Encrypted mesh communication over radios. The radios are fairly inexpensive starting at around $40.

    And the fact that it's a mesh so theoretically it should be easy to avoid a single point of failure. If one person with one gets arrested or otherwise silenced, the network stays up. Probably need a way to rotate keys though.
