In my opinion using #Reticulum over #lora is an edge case and a really bad idea in urban settings. It was never meant as a simple chat app for preppers like #meshtastic or #meshcore.
It was created not to replace SMS but as a transport-layer independent, encrypted network stack. Of course you can use it to chat but it is not suitable to run on #lora in an urban setting!
Just because it is possible to run #Reticulum over #lora it is not a good idea outside of some rare remote circumstances!
