Delta Chat<p>Dear fans of messenger comparison sports, </p><p>How does it factor in that on <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/deltachat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deltachat</span></a> there are many apps that can be used in a chat without requiring a login or even a privacy policy ...

I don&#39;t mind to see it that way. I think its great that everyone can use just their own email server if they want it to. But also using just <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/chatmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chatmail</span></a> is great. <br />Its super simple to use, doesn&#39;t matter its desktop or phone. <br /><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/deltachat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>deltachat</span></a> is great, simple and you&#39;re not just tied to one server like signal and co.</p>

Bhavani Shankar 💭Delta chat works really well in unreliable networks. But requiring both parties to be online when adding a contact is sometimes hard and confusing.<br><br>Isn't there a way around that?<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/deltachat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deltachat</a>
CyberFrog<p><a href="https://chaos.social/@delta" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@delta@chaos.social</a> YES, this is a huge part of how <a href="https://social.glitched.systems/tags/DeltaChat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeltaChat</a> maintains security in the event of a potential server compromise (among other things), and it's extremely important to understand how these p2p messages actually work in the Deltachat context to know how edits or deletes work, it's not just standard email</p>
