Lightning was never meant as a messaging layer and it's terribly inefficient in doing so.

I see, thanks.

the Lightning messaging hassome usability though... I can message to my peers or any node operators that have keysend enabled.

Do you mean https://sphinx.chat ?

Bitcoin lightning network is one financial network, maybe too expensive to be used as normal communication.

I tried cipherchat.app but even without it you can send and receive messages with keysend...
