I still feel like XMPP with servers located outside of the US would be a better choice than Signal. 🤷

@catsalad in case you haven't already, I recommend you to try out Delta Chat instead, it doesn't require phone numbers, onboarding is super smooth just set a name and go,

it has good multi-device and multi-profile support, so you can have a profile for family and friends with more personal image/avatar and nick while other profile for more public/work relations

@Lacze Everything You Think You Know About DeltaChat Is Wrong

https://blog.feld.me/posts/2025/03/deltachat-is-actually-good-though/

that blogpost from 2019 is not relevant to Delta Chat, Delta Chat uses a small secure subset of PGP implemented in Rust, and btw forward secrecy is coming to Delta Chat this year likely

@catsalad

Everything You Think You Know About DeltaChat Is Wrong

I am smitten with DeltaChat... DeltaChat has been making massive strides lately and I think you should consider using it as your full time secure messenger.

How DeltaChat is better then SimpleX?

Show threadadbFeb 4

@Lacze

simplex feels more beta/experimental, I managed to end with duplicated groups etc.

UI/UX-wise Delta Chat is better and more user-friendly

DeltaChat has good multi-device support, you can use your profile everywhere

DC has in-chat mini-apps (like collaborative editor, to-do lists, polls, etc) and it is offline-first (including the mini-apps)

all while:
apk size of simplex: 70MB
Delta Chat: 20MB

just try it!

@adbenitez

Wait... no group chats, file sharing, or calling?

Show threadadbFeb 4
@Lacze there is group chats, file sharing (but up to 30MB in most chatmail servers which is not great) and there is calling feature (it is experimental, got added recently, you have to enable them in the advanced settings in the app
