Zuviele Menschen kennen leider nur #WhatsApp - neben der Einrichtungshilfe wäre es daher wichtig, auf bessere Alternativen hinzuweisen!
Es fehlt somit der Absatz, dass WhatsApp generell zu vermeiden sei und es diese besseren Alternativen gibt.
#Signal ist eine Möglichkeit, noch besser wären #DeltaChat oder #Matrix/#Element.
I see a lot of potential behind @delta decentralized model (which, unlike XMPP, is not federated).
And given the enthusiasm for my own channel, it seems I’m not alone.
Try it out, here are some channels:

But I want people who try it to be conscious about current limitations so I’ve listed them here:

Petite victoire du jour : mon collégien a convaincu 2 copain·e·s d'utiliser Delta Chat https://delta.chat/fr/ 😁😅
(Les arguments qui ont fait mouche au près des parents :
Sécurité : on ne peut pas contacter si on ne connaît pas réellement
Version desktop : permet d'utiliser sur l'ordinateur familiale, donc sous contrôle parental)
> Un des problèmes actuels de Deltachat, c'est la centralisation de fait. Un peu tout le monde choisi le serveur "nine.testrun.org"
that was just an intermediate step, nine.testrun.org was offered as a stable relay, choosing randomly could end up in using a poorly maintained relay that got abandoned and then you or your family would be left like "Delta Chat doesn't work anymore"
anyways, good news! finally since the release 2.62.0 nine.testrun.org is no longer the hard-coded relay! now 3 random relays are chosen and used! so if one goes down the others will be used without ending up with a dead relay, and further improvements will come in this area, as replacing relays that stopped working automatically, learning new relays from the ones used by your peers etc.
so in fact Delta Chat right now is at the peak of #decentralization, way above #Matrix, #XMPP, #Mastodon and any other decentralized platform, because it is not only decentralized but it is "multi-homing", in other decentralized platforms if your server dies your profile is lost and you have to start all over, in #DeltaChat you can have several home servers at the same time and even replace them on the fly while keeping all your chats, contacts, messages, groups, channels, etc. your profile lives in your devices, not in any server
J’ai eu mon premier appel audio sur @delta avec @tirodem je suis désormais les canaux de @sebsauvage et de @brunoleyval , j’ai des discussions avec des contacts.
Bref, alors que je voulais simplement tester, je commence à utiliser DeltaChat pour de vrai ! Et c’est plus léger/rapide que @signalapp (bon, ça reste encore assez expérimental par bien des aspects).
Plusieurs lecteurs me disent suivre désormais Ploum.net principalement via mon canal:

I have a question about delta chat, does anybody know the answer?:
-How to know how many devices are connected with my account? I tried to disconnect a device and I am not able to find this. Is this even possible? Security-wise is not good not to know.

I would like a #sysadmin dashboard as a #deltachat app.
I figured very quickly how to send notifications through delta chat... I'm sold.
But, do you think a dashboard with current alerts / recoveries sent by a bot would be feasible? It doesn't have to be interactive (actually I'd prefer no interactivity)
I'm not very fluent in web tools...

@whynothugo I don't find xmpp so nice of a protocol for several reasons and design choices, but let's be honest, if even #DeltaChat managed to repurpose #email (#smtp + #imap) for chatting and make a nice well integrated cross-platform multi-profile and multi-device supporting client, that on top of that doesn't even make your profile depend on a single server,
I think we don't really need more protocols, xmpp is good enough (anything that just sends encrypted blobs around is good enough actually), and someone could have done the same what Delta Chat did but using XMPP protocol, probably just for sending messages around, without using quite some of the bloat / polemic features of XMPP, like groups depending on the server where you create them and ending up being unencrypted, etc. (in Delta Chat groups are always encrypted forever, encryption can't degrade)
sadly no one did that so far
#deltachat is now evolving for 9 years. Among the currently active 15-20 contributors a majority joined 5+ years ago, with some joining in the very first year and a few only joining last year.
Patience and perseverance is underrated when it comes to producing something that challenges the status quo of centralized mainstream messaging. Several competitors dropped out by now while many of us feel we are only getting started.
A good read on the patience topic:

@oemb1905 No, we are not deprecating using self-hosted email servers with #deltachat ... there are in fact many different types of email servers in use today. However, using Delta Chat as a cleartext email client (especially when you have other email clients reading the same inbox) is not a goal anymore, at least since the V2 releases last year. It's all about end-to-end encryption and using servers in a simplified only-INBOX way, all standards based: https://github.com/chatmail/core/blob/main/standards.md

> why would we use ChatMail for messaging apps instead of XMPP or Matrix?
there are several reasons!
first of all, it is the app closer to #WhatsApp appearance that has a multi-platform client with feature parity, you just have to tell people "install Delta Chat" the story is much more complicated with #XMPP
also when moving from one device to another, with #DeltaChat you can import backups from android into desktop etc. this is just not possible in xmpp since backups are not compatible across clients
#matrix server is super expensive/bloated, while you can host +1k users in the cheapest VPS or Raspberry Pi you find
when you host chatmail you have literally almost zero maintenance: accounts get created and removed automatically, messages get also wiped automatically, you don't need to handle account deletion requests etc. server storage is kept low
in matrix and xmpp clients if the server goes down or your server account gets removed you have to start all over in a new profile, you lose all your chats, messages, contacts, etc. with delta chat you can easily migrate servers without losing anything, your profile lives in your device and is owned by you!
you can also use several servers at the same time with Delta Chat meaning if one goes down it doesn't matter you keep receiving messages, this alone set it in a completely different league compared to matrix or xmpp
in matrix a lot of group metadata lives in the server, and in xmpp if the server where you created the group goes down, the group is lost, not even people in other servers can keep chatting in the group, is a big centralization problem
ofc, software and protocols can change, but this is just the reality today, I would not use xmpp or matrix for my family chat when what I get with Delta Chat is a much nicer user experience and much more resilient
J'essaie de faire un truc simple pour expliquer concrètement la prise en main de Delta Chat ( @delta ) en mettant volontairement de coté la technique, pour essayer de séduire le grand public.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/117130669740897586
they will put anything in EN #wikipedia but a #DeltaChat page 💔
I've used DeltaChat for about 7 years. I even managed to get a few family and friends to install it for a while, so we the built-in AutoCrypt would encrypt our emails. But none of them stuck with it.
Until recently DC continued to be a great mobile app for my personal email account. However, the devs are slowly moving away from supporting my use case, in favour of DC being a client for dedicated ChatMail servers. Which leaves me scratching my head as to its utility.
(1/2)
From an end-user perspective, without consideration for security or network effect, which Whatsapp features are missing from:
1. #Signal - @signalapp
2. #Deltachat - @delta
3. #ArcaneChat - @arcanechat
So, if all your friends were suddenly with all 4 apps on their phone, which one will they eventually end up using? And why?
We're flattered! @digitalcourage, one of the oldest digital rights organizations in Germany, just recommended using #deltachat
They included a fantastic, well-structured article in German on how to get started, with lots of good background info for those who seek it. https://digitalcourage.de/digitale-selbstverteidigung/messenger
Meet #PixelSocial: a private social network you can host without any server just in your chats! for example in the family chat to have a private social network that only the family can access to! or for a group of friends
if you want to test it, there is also a public anonymous instance where you can actually interact with strangers thanks to a bot that works as bridge:

this is really super cool:
https://likebutter.app/blog/butterbox-deltachat
quite some other projects try to solve "offline communications" by using Bluetooth but I think this is very unpractical for anything that is not looking like an IRC or SMS app
but if people setup local interconnected wifi hotspots and build a mesh network in the cities/towns then you can have a something much more interesting while not draining everyone's battery
enabling people to do things like this and becoming truly resilient and autonomous
things like this you can never do with centralized messengers like #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Signal, etc. if you really care about digital independence, centralized alternatives are just NOT an option at all

Question for the Fediverse: is #DeltaChat just a front end to PGP-encrypted e-mail, or is there more to it than that?
Hi @arcanechat !
In the drop-down menu, there is something like "show all the locations". What is it please ? Does that mean that #ArcaneChat or #DeltaChat can see and stick the user's locations ??
Good news among the bad news!
If the recent #0day attacks against Linux kernel+servers were launched against #chatmail relays, privacy of chatting with #deltachat is preserved. Why? Because we already assume the server could be actively hostile, and still not read or see any avatar, names or messages.
Since the March 2.48 zero-metadata releases relays/servers do not see cryptographic identities, and get no chance to launch "machine-in-the-middle" (MITM) attacks.
> For ArcaneChat, i thought it was just a client for #DeltaChat , but it asks me to create a new profile, I can't use my existing one...
it is a chatmail client like Delta Chat, and yes you can use your Delta Chat account in ArcaneChat
in the welcome screen there is an option to "add from second device" and also import from backup
@arcanechat
Cool, i didn't know for this option, thanks again.
For ArcaneChat, i thought it was just a client for #DeltaChat , but it asks me to create a new profile, I can't use my existing one...
#DeltaChat utilisé avec l'appli ToDo List, pour la liste de courses partagée, c'est sympa, mais pas super efficace. Souvent ça met du temps en à charger.
Bon, c'est pas la but de DeltaChat, alors tant pis. Mais conséquence : j'ai toujours pas réussi à trouver aussi bien que google keep pour les listes de courses partagées avec ma compagne. C'est relou. (Surtout de confier sa liste de besoins à google, alors qu'on a pu virer google de presque toute notre vie numérique).

From today, following a truly extreme undemocratic process (actually a farce), all your chats can be read. For no reason at all. Any cop, admin or politician: whenever they feel like it, they can read what you write to your family, partner or friends. There will be a trade in private pornographic material. Blackmail and defamation will increase even further. The end of democracy… if it ever existed in the first place.
If you want to protect yourselves, use (for example) DeltaChat!!Because although they’re evil, they’re stupid. DeltaChat is decentralised, which means there’s no single point they can monitor.
If you fancy giving it a go, feel free to send me a test message! I’d love that! #chatkontrolle #eu #uberwachung #deltachat #resist
