Can’t get on board with a privacy tool if the first thing they ask you to do is to join their Telegram channel
Since I'm the one that said it originally, I tend to strongly agree. I really can't stand it. Its such an absolute, unnecessary respect killer.

Tor is not a mixnet, since it cannot delay individual packets or messages, which is a requirement for actual "mixing". Tor is onion routing.
