Added the relay. Any other cool simplex group chats I should join besides the #[2] one?

Not that I know of ATM, but I'm not very high on group chats in apps like this.
We talked about it on the pod episode, but the network architecture is ideal for direct chats (or very small groups) as you have to have direct, two-way connections to each group participant.
Group chats don't really need anonymity or e2ee in the same way as direct chats (as they're publicly joinable) so I prefer using platforms like Matrix for that use-case.
You don't think it can scale to large (telegram level) group chats? Now that I think of it, it's a putty that these scalability tradeoffs were not discussed in the episode, we need a round 2!
