Do I understand correctly that routing always priorities the path with the fewest hops? With Reticulum being "medium agnostic", I imagine this would not always be fastest in terms of ping or throughput: A destination might be reachable via a single hop via Mars, even though three hops across town would be faster.
It's a natural assumption but it's actually the opposite of how HN works since two threads about roughly the same thing on the front page leads to split discussion (and too much of the same thing) and typically the follow-up gets moderated away. So posting a followup/related thing of a front page ongoing topic makes it more likely the followup won't get traction.
