We did briefly touch on using it for group chats, he mentioned he doesn't recommend it for large groups for the reasons I mentioned.
The design decisions made just mean it's not ideal for large groups, but it doesn't need to serve that purpose. Why do you need anonymity, e2ee on each message, and contact isolation in a *public* chat? I think there's usually a lot of confusion on what benefits are provided by more privacy-preserving alternatives for large public group chats.
Definitely do need a round 2, though, and will absolutely be doing one!
