sorry... my post was too assuming and heavy on old show references.

ok, yes lora is just text but i was more using the "why" you are communicating. its actually better than walkie talkies because it keeps trying to get you message across. i used walkie talkie in my analogy because that's what we used to communicate out in the middle of nowhere.

when i said chatty, i meant that nodes will broadcast messages all over the place. it can cause congestion. meshcore has defined roles and can manage message traffic better. so it doesnt get congested like that.

to reiterate, n meshtastic, every node is the same and meshcore has different roles. maybe this will help. https://nodakmesh.org/blog/meshcore-how-it-works-guide

i admit than posting silly analogies in a very public forum made up of different people was a bad idea. i'll explain because its very close to meshcore.

in the show person of interest, the later season had a drug dealer have his own cell network so his calls couldnt be intercepted. the goid guys used it because an evil ai was trying to find them. in the show they setup repeaters on roof tops to increase the network size. so the network topology is the similar.

i am honestly very happy to go more into it if i didnt explain enough here. my original comment was just a drive by attempt at humor
