Is anyone else using Delta chat as an alternative? I can’t fault their idea of basing their chat app on the well established email system.

Fuck... Is there an alternative?
Can't use telegram cus banned, won't use signal because usa and for a while they got very buddy-buddy with the zucc, matrix requires me hosting and it isn't exactly private... So what's left?Take a look at Delta chat? I can’t find a fault with it yet..

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what's not to like?
I think you can't message people who are offline, right? I've used it before, and like the idea, but both people having to be signed it at the same time wouldn't work that well for me & my contacts, since we're in different time zones.

Cooked al dente?

Cooked al dente?
With a bit of green pesto and chianti.

Is that it? We stop using better programs because we disagree with the creator's views?
What a disgusting, childish world some of these people live in.
"I was going to buy that house, but the owner's views made me reconsider. I decided to go with something worse."
Yes, unfortunately that is the current reality. Note also the subtle hints this article points to: if you disagree with any of the tenents of our clique, you're evil. In this case, Matrix uses capitalistic toolsets, which implies it is evil, and you should rather use an unfinished alternative because it's made a by a trans person which is virtuous.
Amusing to think that these people apparently tried to weaponize "weird" against Trump et al.

Delta chat is hilariously slow. It's less of an instant messenger and moreover next business day messenger. That's ignoring the problems you'll have running it on your own infrastructure.

Because Matrix isn't exactly private since it's meant to be a Discord clone and I share piracy among my friends and family, or for the sexy times with my friends, I need something that at least has self-destructing messages and chats where messages dissapear after some time.
I could trust it if I could self-host, but I lack the hardware (disk space, mostly) and the availability (I can't leave my pc on all the time [also I live in México, the internet is terrible and I tend to hog it if I'm downloading something]), so I'd have to trust some random yahoo with my stuff but it wouldn't have what I'm looking for anyway.
Electric is not a discord clone and element has a customer base more similar to slack.
And to end encrypted direct messages have been the default for years now in Matrix. -
I like the concept of delta.chat the most. Anyone here use it? Any reason why it hasn't caught on?
Could it support technical FOSS channels with thousands of participants, like what IRC was awesome for and Matrix seems to be pretty ok at?
Copying my post from up thread:

That last part is the "problem", I just need something to text and send memes and files, but convincing the people around me to leave animations and stickers behind would be impossible.
That's very fair. Better start contributing I guess.
