Time is running out.

On Sept 12, EU countries vote on chat control - a law that would make every messaging app scan your private chats before you even hit send.

Only six countries openly oppose it right now. Germany and several others are still undecided. MEPs from different parties are warning this is mass surveillance on everyone.

I'm terrified my kids will grow up in a world where every private thought gets scanned before they can share it. You can't have democracy without free speech, and you can't have free speech under surveillance.

Just a comment from the sideline:
Unlike Signal, which is very good but centralised to one single point in the US, DeltaChat is decentralised and can be self-hosted. There are other benefits in favour of DeltaChat too, but I see that is the biggest difference from Signal.

@m @delta @delegatevoid to me it seems to solve different issues. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't deltachat focusing on avoiding detection? Signal seems to be safer

@watchfulcitizen @m @delta Both are cryptographic secure, but yes the Signal protocol does currently have some advantages over Delta, but that's being worked on. For me the issue isn't so much about avoiding detection, but simply the fact that it works (mainly because it's federated) whereas Signal is centralized and simply doesn't work here.
