Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS

Where is there a tutorial for Ricochet Relay?
Ricochet seems dead. It's been five years since its last commit to their git repo, and their website's certificate expired last year. This is probably why you can't find much information.

The Code the FBI Used to Wiretap the World
I think something like Ricochet (if it were still actively maintained) could be a good solution.

Every user is their own Tor onion service, so you get E2E encryption and no centralized servers. The whole thing hinges on the security of Tor itself which is probably a safe enough bet.

Ricochet reborn: A user friendly TorChat for everybody available for GNU/Linux and in the Mac Store and Windows Store.
With that being said, if I had just one piece of advice - try to avoid ostentatious phrases like Speek is by far the most secure way to converse or 100% anonymous. Tor itself is not 100% anonymous, so that should immediately make anyone cautious. One of the things that I admired about the original Ricochet was that the developers never made brazen claims about their software. In fact, quite the opposite.

Check out https://github.com/ricochet-im/ricochet/blob/master/doc/prot.... It is metadata-free. It does not require a centralized server. It uses Tor.

A Statement on Recent Events Between Signal and the Anti-Censorship Community
> there isn't a currently easily available obvious way to have private secure conversations.
Ricochet[1] works really well. It uses Tor hidden services to communicate. Your Ricochet ID is your onion address. To add a contact, you input their Ricochet ID and a short message, and Ricochet connects to their onion address and sends a contact request. If the contact request is accepted then you'll each show up as a contact on each other's client and can chat whenever you want.
Tor is really perfect for this, you can't get more private or censorship-resistant than Tor.
The UI is currently not great, but that's not a protocol problem.
The biggest problem with Ricochet is that hardly anyone is using it.
