Is it a good idea to use session messenger which is based on Lokinet inside Whonix or better not? Is this TOR over TOR?
That would be similar to:
It can most likely be used in Whonix:
(Whonix is based on Kicksecure.)
(But I am not saying (yet) that it should be. I haven’t researched Session enough yet. First impression however is very good.)

Session messenger is quite centralized - they can block your account without the ability to create a new one.
If we block your account for a breach of our Terms, you will not create another account without our permission.
And here are some interesting thoughts on Session and LokiNet:

I am not sure that follows. Maybe that text was written by lawyers. Or copied from somewhere. That certainly doesn’t sound nice. I would hope by that, they means a blocked account on their centralized project website getsession.org in case of opening a support request [1] (or perhaps a forum in the future or something). Or maybe their GitHub organisation.
You could ask them on GitHub for clarification.
I sent them a message. I will post their response if they get back to me

Probably best to ask on GitHub. That way it’s in public and their reply is verifiable for all readers, we can document and use their statement + hyperlink as a reference / evidence.
I will wait for their response (they write “up to 48 hours”). Then, I will ask on github (or ask why nobody answered me and what’s going on)

I received a response from the support service. It seems you are right. They told me that account blocking is only possible in group chats.
