You cannot make a Signal account without phone number so that’s not true.

But we are not obliged to share it with our correspondents.

Oh that's good.

I've often wondered how could I make my instant messaging less instantaneous, while giving a new app access to my banking emails.

[email protected]

I asked specifically for relevant issues and you just link general issues with smtp that have no impact on Delta Chat?

SMTP is not secure

Delta Chat sends encrypted messages over it so that’s irrelevant.

SMTP is not efficiency

Your phone can run LLMs, it can send a couple packets. Also this “chattyness” can be seen as an advantage as it is extremely robust and works on any network however inconsistent.

SMTP doesn’t have a way to ensure stuff is delivered

Yeah duh? It’s decentralized. You can’t ensure that the recipient doesn’t take down their server?…

Etc. I feel like I’m wasting my time replying to all these because it seems you didn’t even take the time to read them yourself.

[email protected]

Yeah I’d rather not share my identity though. Seems like an odd requirement for a “private” messenger

[email protected]

Right? I did try Delta many years ago, and I really recommend using a new email account for it.

[email protected]

Should definitely be the go-to

[email protected]

Private ≠ anonymous.

[email protected]

Yea but not in vc debt so without the incentive to sell out users

[email protected]

Imo it's already difficult enough to convince friends and family to use Signal. Delta Chat would be even more difficult to pull off.

[email protected]

You can now also choose to just be assigned a new email account when you start using Delta Chat (only drawback is that you can’t send unencrypted emails with that email account so you can’t use it for anything other than chatting)

[email protected]

Signal is neither of those

[email protected]

Doesn't delta use email under the hood, an unsecure protocol?

You're better off using something like Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX or Signal.

[email protected]

The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat. Signal is not private and SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

Maybe. That's from what i've seen off the website.

Signal is not private

Could you elaborate on this? haven't heard of this point (is it due to the jurisdiction on a 5 eyes country?)

SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

It actually does now. It's a very solid choice i'd say

[email protected]

As a heads up, the person you're arguing with seems to be using an LLM to generate text.

I would down vote and move on. It's not a real discussion.

[email protected]

You need a phone number to sign up which requires identification in most countries.

Also anyone who knows your username can ping where you are at any time: https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/45a3cdfa52246f1d1201c1e8cdef6117#real-world-application-discord

Downvote for what? What part is wrong?

[email protected]

Yep. Noticed when they forked the convo.

[email protected]

Oh, cool. TBH I don't think that's a drawback, just customised to the very specific usage. So you get a [email protected] email or something?
