What would be considered short & long distances in terms of LoRa?

I just watched some YouTube videos on it and some people were getting 2-3km on a quick test walking the dog and others were boasting ~20KM.  I see one video where someone got more than 100KM!

Just wondering if it would even be possible for someone like Nick and I to communicate using something like this ~75KM away (and across a stretch of Lake Ontario) while still getting decent data rates.  (Assuming Nick would even want to try something like this).

(I would be using US902-928 here in Canada)
