Metadata-Resistant Messaging

I mean with the stupid names, could you not?! carving out interest in this crowded space is a challenge onto itself, you don’t hafta shoot yourself in the foot from the get-go!

that aside, anyone got experience with the thing?

This feels way too overkill for me.

Depends on your threat model. But given more people using these things normalize it for those who can justify the need for such software (like whistleblowers, those organizing illegal direct action), it makes it easier for them to use it without it gaining too much suspicion and makes it easier for them to use it more consistently even outside talking about things that more obviously need that extra security.

If it sounds like overkill on the privacy front, that’s a good chance that it means you should be using it LOL.

Yeah. When it comes to privacy, overkill often turns out to be not quite enough.
