 😳 I guess session groups chats are... completely unencrypted?! Yikes!

Today is the first I've heard of Session. I read the technical explanation of their protocol and walked away thinking everything was e2ee.

I saw references to onion routing, swarms, nodes, staking and some blockchain token thing.

https://simplifiedprivacy.com/uncensored/ also mentions something that sounds like decentralized DNS, which was helpful, but I don't understand how all of it fits together.

A network diagram and sequence diagrams for various use cases seems like the would be just perfect to explain the sysyem to people new to Session.
