What is MASH?

MASH, standing for Mobile Ad-hoc Social Network, refers to a type of social network that operates in a decentralized and self-organized manner, typically leveraging mobile devices. These networks are designed to function even in the absence of traditional infrastructure like cellular towers or Wi-Fi hotspots. They rely on peer-to-peer connections between devices, allowing users to communicate and share information directly with each other within a limited range. MASH networks can be useful in situations where centralized communication infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable, or censored, such as during disasters, protests, or in remote areas.
