People should use briar or signal groups for this stuff. Or host something outside of the US.

Neither of those are safe. Needs to be self hosted outside the country, as you said. Roll your own or don’t do it at all.

Just don't.... roll your own encryption. Use a trusted standard and roll out your own self-hosted encrypted comms service.

Yes. Agreed. It’s one thing to build a rest API for a chat client, it’s another to think you’re smart enough to outsmart a trained professional with a “quantum computer”

And if speed is not a concern you can always use a really slow encryption. Even 10 seconds for a short message can be perceived as an acceptable amount of time but in the world of encryption 10 seconds will generate a very very secure message
