(It's actually only sending computer that must not be compromised during installation, but in other respects you're right.)

The other nice aspect is Onion routing by default similar to Briar, Ricochet, Onionshare and Cwtch. TFC has no server in the middle that could collect metadata, and Onion Services hide geolocation of the users as well.

I completely agree it's not easy-to-use in comparison to other messengers, but I've found it very difficult to increase convenience without losing endpoint security.

Thanks for clarification, it slipped my attention that plaintext extraction isn't possible even with a compromised receiving endpoint as long as the data-diode is in place.

And thanks for your work. I'm currently experimenting with TFC on various hardware and considering it as topic of my (long due) bachelor thesis in Software Engineering.
