Sadly a lot of the Meshtastic folks are libertarian HAM enthusiasts that lean heavily right wing. I’ve seen MAGA messages on our southern CA mesh quite frequently. Don’t really trust the people on there.

I’m thinking of getting a T-Deck, and maybe repurposing a pi zero I have to be a relay (which would improve reception around town rather than relying on the relay in the neighboring city)
Maybe a meshtastic to matrix relay, or using a public mqtt broker or something for this sort of information to be distributed? Considering the information here, meshtastic seems a great fit.
This just makes me think meshtastic found a perfect purpose.
