Delta Chat
Delta Chat
@delta@chaos.social  ·  activity timestamp 3 months ago

We hereby challenge _all_ other messaging apps, FOSS or not, to provide a more convenient private onboarding experience than #deltachat

1. Install app
2. "Create new profile"
3. Enter nick name, tap "Agree and continue"
4. Tap "+" and "new contact" and provide/scan qr code/link

Voila! A secure private chat, familiar to those coming from Whatsapp or Telegram (without "AI" shenanigans).

Note: chat identities are private and can not be queried or discovered. Servers keep no track or metadata

@delta Surely, I am not the only one blocked on the decision which server to pick for a new account and what kind of trust in metadata goes into the server?

@delta I agree, #Deltachat is awesome for superfast account creation, then sharing the account by QR code. No password set or stored, no phone number or email given, no password manager grumbled about necessitating
