    I been using reticulum not just because one of the creators is a hacker
    that attends CCC on a regular basis, also an anarchist and true
    believer on anticapitalist,dencentralization,free and open software, digital rights
    and more... Reticulum does not limit you to LoRa like mestashtic.

    "Columba is a simple messaging and voice app for the Reticulum network on Android. Send LXMF messages and make LXST voice calls without relying on the internet, cell towers, or any central servers.

    Built with a native Android interface and Material Design 3, Columba brings mesh networking to your pocket in a familiar, easy-to-use package."

    Another older and more popular desktop TUI program is nomadnet,
    unfortunatelly is in python so is SUPER slow and THEY do not
    let you add VIM keys so I am not a fan of it

    waiting for someone to write a desktop program in a systems
    language like C/C++/GO/Rust etc ...


    Happy Hacking

    Thank you! I have already installed this app i only need to have contacts, don't forget to share your RNS so we are in contact.

    Now that google is restricting android devs is good to know we can still
    count on LineageOS, GrapheneOS, etc. F-Droid and Obtainium (i installed columba using this).
