@yawnbox @Mer__edith Tor is basically a glorified network protocol (albeit very smart) so having it distributed by design is less of an issue.
I agree that making Signal more robust through decentralisation would be great, but this sort of thing gets more difficult the higher up the stack you go, especially when it wasn't part of the core design principles.

@davep @yawnbox @Mer__edith with decentralization you're throwing out of the window not only latency, but often also the capacity to guarantee delivery. Consider this talk for details: https://hapyyr.com/@bogo/115401249466782443 ...also for alternatives to Signal and the corresponding tradeoffs.
