Comment on time to switch to DeltaChat 😁

  tell me how many people are doing it??? do you realize after setting up your server you also need to create a custom app that uses your server and publish that to all stores???

  besides self-hosting Signal is much more expensive than self-hosting Delta Chat, MUCH MORE, and in the end you can not federate with other instances so it is a pain in the back, you would need an app for every instance and group of people you interact with, plain nonsense

    The point is that, if Signal goes bad/evil, someone can just take the code and self host it. I don’t need a federated service. I want a messenger that has powerful end to end encryption with forward secrecy, post-compromise recovery, deniability, and post quantum encryption. Other social media, like Mastodon and Lemmy, don’t have encryption because everything is public anyway, and I value decentralization more about them to avoid political interference and censorship (which are irrelevant on Signal).

      “The point is that, if Signal goes bad/evil, someone can just take the code and self host it”

      it seems you totally ignored what I just said, there is no point on keeping repeating the same thing if you don’t want to see it, have a nice day
