Reminder: There are no accounts in the classic sense anywhere with #chatmail or #deltachat.

It's all private profiles on end user devices which co-ordinate in a #p2p fashion. Chat profiles *use* email (relay) addresses for transporting messages through a federated e2ee-restricted SMTP network.

A chat profile or chat group has zero data on the server. It's radically different from classic email servers, Whatsapp, Signal, XMPP and Matrix servers which host and control chat identity.

@delta I really like the concept but have zero energy to convince my peers to switch to a new platform/technology

Maybe some day

@Ketakater well Signal is sort-of the consensus advice right now, but clearly it is centralized, and US-based, i think eventually the consensus advice has to change.(or Signal has to dramatically change)

Do think a little, also the fewer wires it hits the better too, i.e. it should use the local network if possible.

For instance syncthing uses QUIC to do that i think. @delta
