We engage with decentralization protocols a lot (many nerds love to) but make no mistake: in the end, the app needs to work and be easy to use.

True, the email system is not necessarily better than #xmpp ... but please compare with http://chatmail.at which is fast, ephemeral and secure, with delta inherently being a peer-to-peer E2EE messenger

@delta One thing I don't understand: how can you send email when you don't store it for long. This means messages are only stored in the client yes, but it shortly stored by the server until it's collected by the client?

#deltachat@hanscees @delta
Yes #DeltaChat delete on mailserver direct after download.
If you use MultiiDevice you should change the settings for maybe one week. -

#deltachat@hanscees yes, email servers are used as relays (chatmail) only. They are store-and-forward servers just like signals hyperscale servers (Amazon, google, ...)
Delta single device users will delete the server side copy after receiving the message. For multi device setups messages are queued for 20-40 days, and then unconditionally deleted on relays.

Hey howabout group chats,, how many people can u bunch together in one chat?
-
@sruba @delta more than 150 is not recommended, see https://delta.chat/en/help#how-many-members-can-participate-in-a-single-group
plus, there are "channels" upcoming, they can handle a far larger number of recipients

@delta for a new profile⦠do you recommend the ninerun server?
I realize itβs not quite like choosing a mastodon instance but stillβ¦ it would be nice to have a bit of context for who runs them, how they are funded, how long they will be around forβ¦ but maybe chat mail is not there yet or maybe Iβm overthinking the use case
