Very Meshy
Just a couple Meshcore links because this anon forum is similar in a sizewaze kind of way.
Meshcore is a cousin of Meshtastic,they are both anon off-grid encrypted text communication networks that will be really useful if/when the internet and electrical grid go away.

The lilygo does look like a blackberry :)
Off grid Briar uses only bluetooth that can travel a few hundred yards each relay, it needs many available blue tooth devices to get good distance.
Meshcore is different from Briar in that no internet needed for stored messages and each meshcore radio repeater has a range measured in miles. The meshcore messages can be relayed up to 64 times to find a recipient.
Here is a good starter video explaining the basics

There is a world map with repeater locations, updated often. Give it a minute or two to load, the network is growing fast and you can watch it grow daily :)
