Thought experiment: how would you design a communication system assuming that everyone has internet access, and the ability to introduce people into the system out of band offline, in a way that protected metadata revealing the systems users social graph of interactions?

Nostr as is + encryption of metadata
I know I'd want to have custom identities for each conversation/group I join. With the ability to use the same name for multiple groups if I wanted to. Departmentalised identities would go a long way.
Could it need to be similar to ecash and mints with social contacts being locally held bearer info and a central signing “mint” to pass “connections” through system.
