Meshtastic (and the LoRa tech underneath it in general) has a lot lower bandwidth than some people expect. It's a reasonable solution for "a few dozen nodes up to 8-10km apart under ideal conditions", and enables SMS-style messaging across the mesh - but it's not "an internet replacement" by a long shot... Think more "30people in an irc channel - without pics/video" rather than "Stream your protests to Instagram or Facebook Live"...
