Yeah, I have a lot of fun with Meshtastic.
There's hundreds and hundreds of nodes across my region, I can talk to other cities, which is fun :-D
I love seeing how far I can make a direct connection too, surprising the crazy range on these little guys if they're up high enough!
I'm hosting a seeed solar node pro at home, and I carry either a t-echo or a t-1000-e with me daily. I also grabbed a t-deck pro to play with. It's been a blast learning about the setups and I keep thinking about stealth deploying a couple more solar nodes to build out the network in the area around me.
I have a T-Deck with me right now. I send messages into the void occasionally. No one's picked up on one yet.
