Feels a little like clickbait "MAGA-themed", never heard of Converso.

That said, the analysis itself is interesting and worth a look, if nothing else it's a general pattern you can follow for many chat applications to see how secure it is.

This, I have extremely varied media sources and Converso isn’t a real thing.

Converso renamed itself to Freedom Chat after my blog post:

Still not a real thing. Highly suspect here.

Exactly! The premise here is BS. Just a thinly veiled “lul look how dumb maga is” when it’s a no name app no one has ever used and has nothing to do with “maga”.

Good job moving the goal posts. So it is a real thing. Yeah, I smell some BS alright.

This article is the first time I am hearing about it

Are you and OP being sarcastic? Or are your media sources just not as "varied" as you might think?

That's different than "I've never heard of it". So it's a real thing, and now you've heard of it. <Insert appropriate xkcd comic here>

No one has heard of it. Just admit you got here because you were fooled into thinking your team was better at something, you were played.

You never questioned it wasn’t a real service. When confronted you pretend it doesn’t matter that it’s a security lapse in a tiny no name project.
