Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

Unregistered users can't chat, so it needs a number, like OP said.
-
It's not anonymous.
-
If you use your email, it's anonymous but you have to use your email which is almost never anonymous and has your phone number. Also you have to "Create an app-specific password" that delta chat will use and gain full access to your email account, which is way worse than signal or any other application. That's a really stupid idea.
During onboarding of the app you only choose a name and get a random email address

Did anyone tell the WhatsApp users?

Fragment it's the first time I hear about Delta chat

Signal is private in that other people can't intercept your messages, including signal. The signal app is open-source so you can be relatively certain it's not tracking your decrypted messages, unlike closed-source apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger or any other private social media.
Signal is not anonymous from an account standpoint, because you need a phone number to sign up, even if you can choose not to display it in your account.

Wasting other people's time.
If you want to use an LLM that's fine, but if you're cutting and pasting it into a discussion you should warn other people that it's not human generated.
And most of it isn't wrong, it's just a giant wall of text that's largely irrelevant to the conversation.
Wall of text? I provided information requested and then went back and provided more information to clear up a claim I got wrong. Let's not focus on how we get the information, but rather what the information is. If it's not for you personally, just move on.

PGP is a very curious choice. A quick Google search says a downside of this is that it does not provide "forward secrecy". From the Wikipedia page on forward secrecy, it prevents things like the following.
If an adversary can steal (or obtain through a court order) this static (long term) signing key, the adversary can masquerade as the server to the client and as the client to the server and implement a classic man-in-the-middle attack.

If you struggle making a new email address, this is not for you.

This does nothing to fix the problem.

Try telling people around and try getting more people around you.

How is it different

@[email protected] currently I try to get my Employer to the fediverse. He would use TikTok to promote the profession with the help of trainees

Finessing the terms doesn't fix it.
They are right. Terminology is important in this discussion.
-
And avoiding the ambiguous, confusing, phrase 'open source', which looks cleverly engineered to scam us out of libre software, control over our own computing.

I guess so. It's encrypted data sent over email from what i understand. Tbf i'd rather trust software built with protocols specifically built for secure and private messaging, and email is known to not be that.

As I've understood, Delta chat is based on the IMAP protocol and uses the infrastructure of your email provider. Thus, it uses no own server infrastructure, but has the also the downsides of the protocol and some issues with many email providers.

Right, they don't support the advanced login protocols some providers like outlook require. That was a deal breaker, because deltachat was pretty much the last encrypted messaging service which worked in China.
