Sure, but what is there to hijack in a messenger platform? The groups basically act as their own separate islands, and everything is signed for their buckets. Worst thing that an attacker can do is hurt availability

Yes, and that's what I'm saying - the attach vector is small. There isn't much on the network to take advantage of. It's basically one giant value-encrypted lookup table
