Exchanging the briar:// ID link via email or another chat  
program works too.  We exchanged our links via Telegram.

I'm in a network of 3 users now.  We are exploring its options.  
Apparently, each person can have their own "blog" as a means to  
make an announcement (and receive comments) to all persons who  
are in one's Contacts.  There is also an "open forum" and  
"private forum" option. All of that is described on the online  
manual page.

It doesn't have the ability to re-edit a message once posted.   
But messages can be deleted at any time, and therefore  
replaced.

Oh.. a couple of other "secure" feature perhaps:

[1] links are not hot.  ie. are not clickable.

[2] messages from the 1-to-1 pvt chats and "blog" cannot be  
copied; only messages from the "forum" can be copied.

It seems to be kinda like a utilitarian cross between DeltaChat  
and Discord.

But perhaps a salient feature might be that it supports comms  
between users on Bluetooth and wifi.  So.. if the internet  
might be down, at least a close community of users could still  
exchange messages, or until ONE person obtains internet access.
