I looked a bit into meshtastic and was told that if a node was physically compromised then messages could be intercepted. That cant be right, right?

#43I'm still unclear how the stated goal of the title is achieved. My first assumption reading the title that it works something like airtags, but that is obviously nonsense. unless you are standing right next to the guy you want to message, how exactly does it work?
https://briarproject.org/how-it-works/ Looks like clients re-host posts to their friends in a p2p fashion.
If it works via tor it's probably also slow, but that's a small price to pay for not relying on a central server for people with legitimate concerns or problems with connecting.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
The military can very easily find and eliminate repeaters very quickly and almost certainly would.
Then get more? Sounds like a fantastic way to waste military resources. I have no clue why this mythical US military might and efficiency idea persists after so many failed interventions.

I doubt iOS has a large market share in Iran. Also, for something like this you don't want a platform that requires you to essentially use the App Store and nothing else.

Meshtastic is both extremely range limited and trivial to DDOS. It's a fun toy protocol but it's not resistant to nation state disruption at all.
