Yup that's why it seems great
though i haven't heard of forks. I think i'll wait a little more till i switch to it, just to see if it gets itself in hot water. It's too early to tell -
Because delta chat is using an open protocol (email) and you can run your own servers meaning it is decentralized unlike Signal. Also it is actually anonymous unlike Signal, so you donβt need to give anyone your phone number and people canβt find where you live just by knowing your username.
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.

You are confusing privacy with anonymity. You aren't anonymous because your user is linked to a phone number, but your communications are private due to how their encryption works.
On the location attack: it is a matter of configuration and your location will be as ambiguous as thousands of miles.

You can argue that element is not matrix but youβre fooling yourself. Others even have to look at how element implements stuff instead of following the matrix spec
Good to know, thank you for the link

Downvote for what? What part is wrong?

Oh that's good.
I've often wondered how could I make my instant messaging less instantaneous, while giving a new app access to my banking emails.
If you struggle making more than one email address try starting somewhere basic.

Precise language is important if you want to understand and communicate truth. It helps a lot to understand the difference between privacy and anonimity there is a scenario where a person doesn't care that an adversary knows their id, but does care about the content of their messages. In which case, differentiating tools that provide that particular service requires language to discuss it.

He clearly does care about the phone number.

Unregistered users can't chat, so it needs a number, like OP said.

During onboarding of the app you only choose a name and get a random email address

How can we tell them if we aren't in Whatsapp?

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.

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.
