One idea that I am fond of is Nym, an implementation of the high-latency mix network Loopix[0], but with incentives for nodes to act as mixnodes and message providers, using a model in which users pay nodes for their bandwidth. The goal being to provide strong anonymity in the face of a global passive adversary. [0] - https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00536

"Trusting mathematics" would be a much more accurate claim if we were talking about mix networks, such as Loopix (https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00536). But Tor is vulnerable to confirmation attacks to varying degrees, (depending on whether you are accessing clearnet or not, of course) which is very much worth noting in the context of a global passive adversary.

Basically, you want to run a messaging service over an onion routing network (Tor, I2P), or even better, a mix network. You should check out Nym (https://nymtech.net/) and come back with what you think about it. It is very suitable to what you want, and Loopix is resistant to global adversaries. https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00536 (Loopix's paper)
