We’ve been busy building and releasing but it’s high time to share some major news: @sovtechfund is investing nearly €500K into #chatmail
This 18-month commitment supports chatmail maintainers keeping the core infrastructure secure and evolving, on top of which several apps are built (but not STF funded):
#DeltaChat
@arcanechat
@deltatouch
Parla on Gnome
A huge thank you to the Sovereign Tech Fund for investing in open, secure and decentralized communication!
@maikel see above 😏
btw haven't read my mentions in like 3 days, got shit going on, will probably reply to something you've forgotten about in the next 2 to 72 hours

@delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund Yes this is amazingly generous !!
I've only loved DeltaChat for a couple of months but will for a long time to come 💜💜💜
@delta congrats, well deserved!
@delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund
Kudos to Sovereign Tech Fund.
Kudos to Delta Chat developers.
Kudos to Arcanechat developer.
Great news on the funding.
Awesome products.
@delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund sounds great but I genuinely ask myself what you'll do with that money 🤔 isn't the chatmail server impl already complete?
@lutindiscret @deltatouch @sovtechfund
chatmail relays, and the associated email infrastructure, are evolving quite a lot but we don't post much about it here. #chatmail infrastructure also is the *core Rust library* which is used by all the clients, so it's not just the "server" side. See also https://chatmail.at
@delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund
Arcanechat is AI slop
its better to not associate deltachat with that project
@delta@chaos.social @sovtechfund@mastodon.social @deltatouch@social.tchncs.de this makes it even more important to have a full ban on genai outputs in the deltachat project, including code, art, video, promotional material, docs, writing and everything else. we really want deltachat to be an ethical option

please don't be on the side of fascists and billionaires
just to clarify, i did not received a cent to make Parla. I wished delta didnt mentioned several topics with mentions in the same post to avoid confussions and tons of mentions :D
@pancake sorry. we edited the original post, reads clearer? Otherwise drop a DM but please keep in mind we have a 500 char limit and dopn't want to rewrite the whole post :)
@delta reads better yeah 😊 its better to use separate posts for separate topics. I missed the times when 140 char limit was the thing :D
@pancake why is it a separated topic???? it is clearly saying that the chatmail core is being founded and that core is being used by you in Parla, so in a way, yes, ArcaneChat and your client are being paid/supported by STF, you didn't have to write the whole core/business logic and could focus on making some UI, but the core is part of your app and it is being improved thanks to the mentioned founding, so I don't see what is the different topic here 🤔
@delta holy cow that’s a lot of funding. Keep up the great work!
@delta @deltatouch @pancake @sovtechfund congratulation !!
hope it help to speed up your work into reaching parity on some feature (with other), and finish what you planned (in beta (call for instance).
thanks for your work.
@hidikem @deltatouch @pancake @sovtechfund we edited the post to be clearer about the fact that neither Delta Chat nor the other chatmail clients are receiving funding. The chatmail infrastructure consists of "relay" setup templates and the "core chatmail library" that is used by all clients. More here https://chatmail.at
