adb@idlehirn it is an #encrypted, #private, #decentralized, multi-platform #chat app, with good multi-device and multi-profile support
with it you don't depend on a single server, all your data, chats and contacts live in your pocket, e2e encrypted, without depending on a particular server, you can easily migrate from server to server without losing any chat or groups! it will smoothly work even without your contacts getting bother about it!
it also has #offlineFirst in-chat mini-games and tools!
Delta Chat#deltachat does
- no bindings to public handles/numbers
- no address-book upload
- not do public contact or group discovery
- not have critical persistent server state (!)
Social identification is private, between people though ephemeral #P2P #E2EE messages.
Servers see messages with random sender and recipient addresses, but those can not be mapped to a phone number or public handle. Servers see IP addresses. But you can use Tor, or a VPN, if you want to hide that.
It' not all bad :)
