How much procesing could it handle though? If it is only a handful of friends then what makes it better than Signal?
Also, cheap second hand laptops are a thing.
I want to believe but I wonder if there is a practical use beyond “this would be cool” (and I do think it is).
The server runs on a phone and not a computer? Why?
You wish.

A famous criminal lawyer in Australia told me that CCTV is a bluff. The perpetrator merely needs to deny it is them.
My friend employed an expert witness to perform computerized facial pattern recognition but the other party got their own “expert” to counter it.
30% of USAmericans voted for that worst brain and many (most?) of them lap up such bs from him unquestionably.
I was backing up your claim…
they don’t really understand percentages.
They being the Anglosphere IMO (am definitely counting fellow Australians).
Trump recently claimed he has lowered drug prices by 1500%. That’s mathematically impossible.
Yes, when counting jelly beans in a jar or answering general knowledge questions because that has no ideology attached to it. But when people are desperate to belong they will follow the party line blindly lest they be ostracised.
The answers to OP’s questions are all ideologically loaded.
That madness also boosted the Sovereign Citizen Movement.

Oh we knew but acknowledging aerosol transmission would mean public expectation of mitigation which would be expensive architecturally and we were not ready with enough masks.
Fomite transmission (surfaces) was exaggerated because it made for reassuring theatre (eg public servants walking through trains with disinfecting cloths).
There is a great podcast on the miasma myth and then how when evidence emerged of aerosol transmission it took decades to accept (right through 2019). Covid finally, eventually, helped defeat the resistance within the science community.
Every industry has resistance to change. Science is self correcting at least even though it took a while regarding this.
Indeed, those who don’t have older friends totally underestimate how confused the oldies get by the concept of an alternative phone/messaging app.
No. There are various ways to calculate the average: mean, median, mode etc
Yeah I know: Dunning-Kruger effect.
When I had intense legal problems I found myself being stupid and then regretted decades ago judging all the kids at school who may have had horrific home lives.
Yes because almost everyone in the planet agrees with the sentiment, even the people we consider stupid (who use a different metric).
Average ≠ mean necessarily
Average can be Median, Mean, Mode or even other measures.
I thought there is a correlation but not a proven causal one
Sounds good. I would love to get an activist group I run off Facebook. There are hundreds of members but traffic is less than what you describe.
The problem for me is that most of the members are technically illiterate so my next question is: how sophisticated do the clients need to be?
