Curious to hear people's opinion about Delta Chat...

Especially with an eye on the possibility of mandatory 'client-side scanning' for messaging platforms like Signal and WhatsApp (i.e. turning these messaging apps into a direct eavesdropping device for the police), I'm wondering if Delta Chat might be a good alternative.

Delta Chat is based on email but it functions like an ordinary messaging app. It's PGP end-to-end encrypted, decentralised/federated, open source... so it should be possible for many people to run their own messaging servers, thereby circumventing (possibly, hopefully) the legal requirements of the chat control bill.

#DeltaChat#E2E#ChatControl

#deltachat I think I should try delta chat.

I use #OpenBSD .

But also I want it to work for people that have android and IOS phones.
(I assume that is the easy part once I get it to work for myself.)

Which client should I use?

The python one that uses urwid looks not maintained.

And then I was just gonna choose one or both of the main
servers from the docs:

- https://chika.aangat.lahat.computer/
- https://nine.testrun.org/

Just published my post on DeltaChat and Orgmode ☕️ It’s long, but I felt it had to be this way. In the future I’ll be adding new features and will keep you posted.

Now let's go for a coffee at my favorite spot — I’ve earned it!
Have a great Sunday! 🌞

Tant és quin dispositiu utilitzi, tots ells estan sincronitzats amb tots els contactes i grups del meu compte a #DeltaChat i, a més, fan de còpia de seguretat automatitzada però sense enviar res al núvol de cap empresa. Que tens un problema en un dels dispositius sincronitzats? des de qualsevol dels altres afegeixes un segon dispositiu i fet.
Fàcil i divertit.

No hi ha res que pugui fer un administrador d'un servidor #chatmail (#DeltaChat) per a desxifrar els missatges que passen a través del seu servidor. Els missatges es xifren en els dispositius dels usuaris, el servidor chatmail només fa de transport dels mateixos. I l'aplicació DeltaChat xifra tot per defecte, no és configurable, no es pot desactivar el xifrat.
Ningú pot demanar a un administrador d'un servidor chatmail els continguts dels missatges perquè no pot fer res de res. 💪

V2 #deltachat is rolling out after weeks of internal testing, a major milestone revising how end-to-end encryption works and bringing more beautiful contact and group profiles, direct access to chat-shared apps in the title bar and a "new email" action with setting a subject for those using a classic server.

Best of all, users and developers don't need to co-ordinate anything for upgrading to V2 despite the massive security rework behind the scenes :)

@Tutanota @delta see this guys? 🤩 #deltachat
@pancake every post, comment and like in the social network is #e2ee thanks to #DeltaChat, the container super-app, but if you want forward-secrecy-secure ephemeral #p2p communications inside a Delta Chat chat, there is the "Live Chat" mini-app in the store (IRC style plus /me and "foo is typing..." support!!)
