The idea sounds nice. It would be amazing if there was a cli friendly lightweight alternative to matrix.
I assume they use SSH for transport security. How do you discover content or message others though?
If it were up to me, I would enforce PGP signing for all content and PGP encryption for private messages. The network's key will be ultimately trusted by all clients. When accounts are registered, their key is cross-signed. Standardize it a bit and keep it very simple so that others can spin up their own "network". Network capacity scaled by means of mirrors, typical OSS style. Ban==signature revocation. Come to think of it, why is this not a thing already?
