It almost fully depends on the internet. Which could be shut down at any point either by your gov.
Technically you could use it over metastatic or something similar but you'll only get a few notes from your city.

If that happens, everyone will be on a Bluetooth mesh 🤣
Why, because everyone have at least one smartphone with Bluetooth but not everyone has a meshtastic device.

Not necessarily true, with the 7-hop maximum built into BitChat, you can only get at most about a mile before you can't hop any farther.
meshtastic may be less common but you can go much much farther distance with it
Oh I didn't know that. That's a bummer 😕
Easy to figure out, just take maximum Bluetooth range and multiply it by 7 hops. And you'd get the maximum possible distance. And mind you, that's if the devices can just barely hear each other and are placed perfectly. You're very likely going to get less than that because the devices are likely not going to be placed perfectly and will not only just be able to hear each other.
