what a mess. first meshtastic vs meshcore and now meshtastic, meshcore and meshcore-but-different-devs

So Andy was the reason for the split from Meshtastic and now the split of Meshcore. Sounds like Andy is the problem. Glad the other devs are taking a stand against vibe coded slop.

I love meshcore, have a repeater and im building out my local mesh - such a shame about andy overstepping and slopping such an important thing - thanks for this psa

Genuinely decentralized and resilient communication is fundamental to individuality and resistence against authority - for andy to try and assert himself and coopt larger authorities into this is frankly disgusting and i appreciate the explicit splitting off from him - hes acting dangerously wether he knows it or not.

They did put out that the official app was the Liam Cottle one which is closed source and so I won’t use that particular app because I don’t use closed source software when I can avoid it. The only one I’ll use is meshcore-open. Quite frankly, Andy can go get fucked. I never did care for his better-than-thou attitude.

I’m very surprised that Andy’s claim to the MeshCore trademark is at all valid, considering the project has existed before he got involved

EDIT: Dug around a bit, and the trademark claim is currently “Pending”

I’m new to mesh and have some radios on meshtastic, but none on meshcore, yet.

Help me understand the implications of this. Does this mean people will have to reflash existing infastructure to ensure they’re on whatever fork/branch ends up favored by the community? Will it split the community geographically?
