1. FOSS apps will allow us to detect surveillance in the app.
2. FOSS OS (like @GrapheneOS ) will allow us to detect surveillance in the OS.
3. ...soon we are going to need FOSS devices.
Maybe @Meshtastic can help us get started on a simple chat device, before we move on to full smartphone level devices.

@Flix agreed, the device layer is the real gap since foss apps and os still run on closed baseband firmware you cant audit, so meshtastic radios sidestepping the phone entirely is a smart place to start
You should operate your main phone only over WiFi. Always bring a second device as mobile router (e.g. old GOS or Mudi)
Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack designed for building local and wide-area mesh networks that can operate over diverse hardware like LoRa, WiFi, Ethernet, and packet radio. Unlike traditional internet protocols, it functions as a complete networking toolkit rather than a single service, enabling users to create independent, censorship-resistant networks that remain functional even under conditions of extremely low bandwidth or high latency.
