@delta Thanks for the reply! I created a profile on android in the default #chatmail and I used a new account in my email server (custom domain with infomaniak) for a second profile in mz Linux Desktop to check out how this works. I see #deltachat created a new imap folder in my email server and started adding emails there (as expected).
#Signal took a huge bet that running on US big-tech toxic infrastructure is fine because its groundbreaking and industry-shaping cryptography is crafted to neutralize it and keep users safe.
But is it really feasible to live on toxic infrastructure in the longer run?
#deltachat rather takes a bet on the massive e-mail server network and interoperable protocols, and on #chatmail servers which enforce message encryption and metadata-minimization.
Delta is for when centralization turns sour.
Great feature's and good feedback conversation. Thanks devs. Top effort.
I've got the Google Play/Aurora update, thanks.
Any ETA on the Linux client?
Cheers.
For all those looking for messengers that are not controlled by organisations located in countries that are not or no longer democratic:
Check out the completely open source #DeltaChat that also is completely independent of any centralised infrastructure.
The project tries to be very transparent and the software is a marvelous and open-standards-based architecture (https://blog.feld.me/posts/2025/03/deltachat-is-actually-good-though/).
Last not least, the project is security audited (https://delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypto-analysis-securejoin)

@delta @jpdvm2014 Rather to my surprise I seem to have managed to set up my own chatserver, following (both) your instructions. I do have a follow-up question though. How security-hardened would you say the standard configuration is? Do you have any advice on firewalling etc?
Delta Chat is an impressive piece of work.
#deltachat
There is no shortage of startups and enterprises animated by, or outright proclaiming, replacing e-mail as the de-facto open internet messaging standard. VC Investors are forever fascinated by funding such endeavours. #matrix #simplex #slack etc are examples.
#deltachat endorses e-mail but reconfigures and repurposes it to serve for interoperable instant messaging. The #chatmail server network relays end to end encrypted e-mail only, and servers are reduced to dumb store-and-forward relays.
OKAY! NOW I think I got @delta to finally work as intended, lol. Took me a bit to figure out how to do that flatpak thing again but it's running. Drop me a comment if you want to chat with me there. #DeltaChat
Another #deltachat release highlight that we didn't tell about yet: De-duplication of attachments and media files. De-duplication means that if you share a larger file to multiple chats, it will only ever exist once in each sending and receiving device's storage.
Same for #webxdc apps -- so if you use the 650KB big "v86emu" app running 32-bit ISO images, it will also only exist once in storage, even if each instance in a chat creates its own realtime LAN. Mini-tutorial https://chaos.social/@delta/114161626183191989
Having lots of fun using Delta Chat. I've set up two accounts on my mail server, one for myself and one for my husband. We're both surprised at how fast it is compared to more traditional centralised chat apps like Signal. It's so cool to be able to self-host this and not rely on centralised infrastructure that is outside of my control.
Now I just need to convince everyone I know it's really cool :)
@n0iroh @Frando Nice! 
Better be in one or I want my money back!!!

I recommend you to check if this service has a rate limit otherwise you might get blocked (temporarily) by VivaldiWebMail.
I believe I can confirm that Vivaldi Webmail works with Delta Chat. 
@feld what's this Deltachat thingy?
I'm getting that it uses email underneath it all. But is it any better in UI/UX than, let's say: Element (Matrix) ?
Vosotros tenéis #DeltaChat ?
Lo utilizáis?
Finally finished moving all my two factor authentication accounts to TOTP app and can now uninstall Authy!
You can run it in Delta Chat, Monocles and Cheogram.
Some of the services that work fine:
- codeberg
- mastodon
- github
- npm
- microsoft
@adnan IMO, no. I know how big of a challenge it is to get a group to switch communications apps & in your situation I wouldn't.
I still trust #Signal & use it for my groups. If someone were just getting into using encrypted chat, then I would recommend #DeltaChat. I haven't experienced any buggy glitches, it has more upside & I love the community being built around it. It wasn't any harder for me to start using than matrix or mastodon.
I think this is the link to chat with me on #DeltaChat
Have I told you the good news of Delta Chat?
I use #Signal & like it a lot. I've played around with #DeltaChat & it's got some killer features that Signal doesn't. This is coming from a non-techie, but it uses encypted email in the background & nothing is stored on anyone's server in any country.
That's all awesome, but even more than that it's FUN! It allows you to do things like play games in the chat with people making FOSS apps for it, I guess.
@feld can probably answer any tech questions, but I wanted to give it a shoutout.
