Two problems I found with Meshtastic are that it's unreliable enough that there conversations are unlikely, and there's no block button. MeshCore solves each of those
From Seattle over MeshCore I can see conversations all the way up to Squamish BC but for Meshtastic I get mostly "hey"… "hey" that just barely reach Everett. I think Puget Mesh is a good driver of this, similar for West Coast Mesh when I visited Los Angeles
