Right? I did try Delta many years ago, and I really recommend using a new email account for it.

Should definitely be the go-to

Signal is neither of those

Doesn't delta use email under the hood, an unsecure protocol?
You're better off using something like Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX or Signal.

The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat. Signal is not private and SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

You need a phone number to sign up which requires identification in most countries.
Also anyone who know your username can ping where you are at any time: https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/45a3cdfa52246f1d1201c1e8cdef6117#real-world-application-discord

Downvote for what? What part is wrong?

Yep. Noticed when they forked the convo.

Oh, cool. TBH I don't think that's a drawback, just customised to the very specific usage. So you get a [email protected] email or something?

I feel like I’m wasting my time replying to all these because it seems you didn’t even take the time to read them yourself.
I'm here trying to learn about Delta Chat and why you think it's a good app given the drawbacks of the approach they've taken. Over the years there's been an incredible amount of messengers pop up, 90 million from Google alone and none have opted for SMTP. There's surely a reason for that. From what I've learned, mostly thanks to Gemini, because holy fuck the Delta Chat website feels like something from 20 years ago and is purposely vague, the solution that Delta has gone for is just to add more layers. Again, something that the world has repeatedly opted against. I'm trying to understand why it's considered a good idea in this case and why so many teams and startups have decided not to use this methodology until now?
Jesus Christ, being curious shouldn't feel like a chore.

you need a phone number to make an account. but you can chat with others without divulging your phone number
