Who uses #DeltaChat and what do you think of it?

Also, any #HomeLab'ers?

There are so many p2p e2ee chat thingies these days I don't have time to look at one let alone compare them. 😱

I like that #DeltaChat seems to have a community that supports it with cash and relays. But is it any good?!

Last I tried was #Jami which kindof worked but at least one mate had problems with it and these things need to work for everyone.

@happyborg it is not completely #p2p, some parts are p2p others decentralized (well actually kind of distributed because you don't depend on a single node but have interchangeable relays and can even use several of them at the same time to avoid single point of failure) this hybrid approach gives you a very powerful offline-first tool while avoiding the "everyone needs to be online" of p2p apps like #Jami

it has in-chat mini-apps like collaborative text pads, to-do lists, shopping lists, multi-player games etc.

it has good multi-device and multi-profile support, and it is the best option out there in terms of security, usability and freedom, the UI is pretty much on the level of WhatsApp, Telegram etc.

it has "channels" like Telegram that allow you to broadcast to subscribers, but all end-to-end encrypted and without dependence in a server, so it is uncensorable

@adbenitez awesome, that's really helpful thanks.

@adbenitez @happyborg

Just to confirm: you're talking about #DeltaChat ?

@klu9 yep

@adbenitez

Thanks, didn't realize it had those additional possibilities
