    I’m also pretty sure Signal has a low cap on users per group – to do real encryption you’re inherently blasting all X users’ public key to all X users, AFAIK, nobody is really doing real encrypted group chats for mass audiences, although we do live in infinite compute world, so maybe I’m not up to date.

      the cap is 1000 per group but this group will not ever get to that size. also your latter statement is misinformed. all messages are still e2ee regardless of how many connections you make

        I mean like 10k+ users by “mass audience,” ala Telegram. As far as I am aware, nothing will do a channel that large and actually encrypt e2e.
