Why would anyone care about using a p2p nonstandard messenger except for free speech? This app implies it will moderate certain groups. If you’re saying something uncontroversial you can just use a bigtech app.

I like cabal because I can read & write messages when I'm offline or there's no internet. It's also nice because I can start a private chat room for my friends without anyone needing to host and maintain any servers or infrastructure.
