Do any of you have experience with community mesh networking? It seems like a fun time and a good way to connect with people (socially and technically lol) in the community. Not to mention the possibility of providing at least limited internet access to people who can't access it by conventional means for whatever reason. A community mesh network might also have organizing possibilities - especially because the state or the cops or a company can't just shut it off or look inside it as easily

Sorry for late reply, been touch-grass a bit

Why can't you? There's lots of other options available too btw: WiFi routers with modified firmware, old-style packet radio on the amateur radio bands (a lot more range possible with this), other protocols like LoRa on the unlicensed bands....
