Meshcore and Meshtastic are, depending on your area, pretty good for offline comms. They provide a pretty compelling combination of encryption and no license, and there's a fairly lively set of users in my area.

MeshCore is currently budding out, unless you are in one of the few places where it is really entrenched. Just in the last 6 weeks I've been doing it, I've gone from basically receiving 0 messages to having to disconnect my phone from my client node last night because it was going crazy.

Much of the communication is like HAM radio: talking about the mesh.
