Hi all!

Created a Matrix chat for US West Coast LoRa/Reticulum discussion! https://matrix.to/#/#rns-us-west:wirebase.org

I saw that there aren't too many public nodes on the West Coast right now. Hoping to change that!

Why not run an RRC + Nomad forum server? RNS native instead of Matrix seems like it fits the end goals a little more closely, no?

Matrix is more feature rich, and more people use it. It's good for building community.
