@delta i discovered Delta relatively recently and it actually does one thing the one very basic thing that i have been waiting other message apps to have for ever. It does not require a phone number in order to use it.
There are many countries where in order to get a phone number you need to hand in your id card. There is no anonymity at all.
Delta is the only app that does it apart from Facebook messenger.

@nickapos
None of the other apps listed in this poll require phone numbers either, Delta is certainly not the only one.

@mattj Yeah that is true, but I think that matrix is closer to an irc/discord model of communication so more focused on chat rooms and collaboration and xmpp which is indeed an instant messenger has ben actively sabotaged by Google.
I have not use an xmpp enabled client for decades and I am not even sure which clients still support it any more.
