@_elena Are you planning to make impressions/review video as well by chance? 😏
Just yesterday, I got my 90yo mother onboard DeltaChat, joining the rest of my family (we all switched over from Signal a few months back)
She lives alone, independently, and has used email for 2x/day wellness checks for a decade.
I quipped “technically, it’s still email” as she opened up the app. You could see the gears turning in her head.
“So… there’s no spam?”
“Cryptographically impossible” I assured her.
@jonathonschuler THIS IS AMAZING!!! 🙌
@_elena try something old new - XMPP.
Standardized protocol, solid, extensible, secure.
XMPP is the future.
@_elena hello from a friendly Delta Chat team member based in Paris 😉 Great to know you're testing the app! Let me know if you run into any issues.
@_elena Calling feature is comming. As you are trying it do some testing in the way to contribute to the project.

@_elena ciao Elena! I'm trying it out. Possiamo parlare un po' in italiano? A dopo!
@_elena
Keep us posted!
I might make one to try aswell
Wanna be my pen pal?
@_elena Delta Chat is a great way to decentralize the IM. I've been using it years ago, with a couple of friends, using my primary e-mail address. It was great. I'm considering to host a chatmail server.
@jana @_elena exactly. and this is sad. Sure, we can use it with a normal mail server (and it's a huge plus, at least for me) but this will mean a constant IMAP connection from the phone to the server. Which is...okish, but not great.
The alternative could be:
- a linuxulator FreeBSD jail - but this won't support systemd, so some tweaking needed
- a LX zone on illumos based OS - I think this will work. I think I'm going to test this path.

I personally think it's the most recommendable chat app for the future. Sad that so few people use it regularly. The UX is already pretty awesome imo and WebXDC apps are simply a killer feature. It constantly improves and the team is full of great activists.
@adalanerd thanks for this testimony! I wish I could learn more about the team - aside from their official account (which I already follow) who else is on the Fediverse?
@_elena @adalanerd 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 I am from the team

If You want to learn German, there is an interview with one of the developers at @gnulinux : https://social.anoxinon.de/@gnulinux/115258691571894637
:-)
@adalanerd
@_elena @adalanerd other delta people are on the fedi too, not sure all of them are eager to share who they are - I think you already met @Xeniax?
@compl4xx @adalanerd @Xeniax yes and thank you Nami!
@_elena Hope it goes well.
One thing that you might want to be careful about, is that on #DeltaChat there’s no admins, and anyone can delete everyone’s messages.
@d1re_w0lf thanks for letting me know! for now I'm just casually trying it out
