Over at session we are getting a massive influx of users from Iran right now.
We have not been blocked yet, session is an e2ee decentralised messenger.

I don't want to seem insensitive to the Iran situation, but how does Session compare to other popular encrypted messaging services?
Seems to be a fork from Signal by oxenio. It's selling point seems to be the crypto currency relation?
Signal also has a private cryptocurrency attached to it, most definitely used by criminals, scammers and even pump and dumped by the founders which one of them are the founders of Signal. (Yes. Moxie is part of it.)
It is based on the signal messenger, the apps look nearly identical.
And you don't have a phone number or an account login, you just have a long UID that you use like your phone number and a random recovery phrase. It is all about not sending much metadata about you, your phone, etc.
Did session and lokinet already have a code security audit or pentest?
