#deltachat does
- no bindings to public handles/numbers
- no address-book upload
- not do public contact or group discovery
- not have critical persistent server state (!)
Social identification is private, between people though ephemeral #P2P #E2EE messages.
Servers see messages with random sender and recipient addresses, but those can not be mapped to a phone number or public handle. Servers see IP addresses. But you can use Tor, or a VPN, if you want to hide that.
It' not all bad :)
@delta +1 for deltachat it's great! Thanks to whoever suggested having a backup for when they take down signal.
@delta I moved to Delta chat recently. It's grrat!
@delta I used it a little bit now for testing and so far it works quite well for private messaging - although I noticed by design the use case seems to be for communicating with people you already know, right? Like public online community chats like irc or matrix does not seem to be in scope if I understand it correctly? (hence no public delta chat group exists, I assume?)
@delta I heard a while ago that sealed sender and forward secrecy were going to be implemented at some point in the future. Is this still the case?
@delta i have an issue but i don't know if it's normal.
i created an account on a laptop, and logged with my phone trough QR, but my desktop (i logged trough backup), don't seem to take in things like contact that add picture etc, when both mobile and laptop do.
did i miss a settings ?
@delta go next level: serverless. Integrate Tor. OnionShare shows that you can exchange messages directly over Tor, peer to peer
