Briar is a messaging app designed to be used by groups of people to allow for secure and censorship resistant communications.
This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.

No one else then the parties messaging can see that the communication even occurs.
Right, but you have to be so close to each other for Bluetooth to work.
It transfers across other peers; you don’t have to have a direct connection to the recipient, just an eventual connection to them.
But you have to directly connect to other people’s devices via Bluetooth along the way, right? Like a relay race of handing over the message until you either reach a network, or the recipient?
I… don’t actually know. I wouldn’t think that would be necessary (at least manually).
If not, it goes against everything I thought I understood about Bluetooth 😆 Curious to know how it actually would work.
