#delta-chat — Public Fediverse posts

I didn't choose #DeltaChat on a whim, I did a month long deep dive into various private messengers which involved reading whitepapers, watching conference talks, installing the apps on my low-end phone and participating in group chats. I looked into multi-device support, battery drain, data usage, difficulty of writing bots/apps, funding sources, and number of devs.

La mini app Better List ( #DeltaChat ) à retenu mon attention. Contrairement à Traero, si on l'ajoute à l'écran d'accueil du téléphone, on peut donner un nom différent à chaque liste (je me fais une page de listes sur l'accueil du tél). Bon, je continue mes recherches pour une liste de courses partagées. 😉

Over the years I got friends and family to install #Telegram to chat to me, as I refuse to use #WhatsApp (ever since Facebook bought them). Telegram was always a stop-gap until the proper solution came along, and now #DeltaChat is it, especially since calls are now implemented. Also their Telegram accounts are getting hacked, so now begins the process of getting them to delete Telegram and install DeltaChat. Don't @ me about Signal. #privacy #messenger

Quand j'ai testé #DeltaChat et que j'ai vu que ça fonctionnait bien j'ai dit qu'on pourra migrer là dessus quand Signal deviendra maléfique. Pas "si", mais "quand".

#Signal troubleshooting - very odd support conversation

Yesterday afternoon I had a quick video call with someone using Signal and then I went to pick up my child from an afternoon summer program.

When I got home I realized that my phone wasn't receiving any new messages on Signal... but my computer was. Signal on my phone was completely frozen.

I followed a prompt and sent the most recent log to their support email. Then carried on with my life.

At some point, 2 hours later, I had a eureka moment: the last thing that worked was a call. Let's try the same thing.

So I called my mom and hung up (she was in the same room as me). After the call, all the Signal messages that had accumulated during the afternoon magically synched. Everything worked again! And then I found a new message by Signal saying "Welcome to the official Signal release chat!" Ok.

Glad I was distracted by my child and dinner because when I checked my email, I found a response from Signal support: "It appears the database is irrecoverably damaged. Unfortunately you will need to completely uninstall and then reinstall Signal. This will delete your message history. It cannot be recovered."

Say what? 😳​

So I wrote back to Signal that I had fixed my issue by simply starting a call and then all the messages started synching again. I thanked them for their speedy reply and said everything was ok.

I did the bedtime routine for my child and before bed I checked my email again.

Two identical emails from Signal:

"Hello. We understand your frustration. We feel it too" HUH?

"There is no specific timeline for a resolution at this moment." WHAT RESOLUTION, I SAID I FIXED THE PROBLEM?

"Please keep in mind we are a small team and have limitations as a non-profit organization. Uninstalling and reinstalling is the only action available."

I feel for you Signal and I'm super grateful for all you do, but maybe your LLM support system needs some tweaking. Because this has got to be some LLM that misunderstood my reply.

Thank goodness I didn't wipe 6 years' worth of messages, gaaah.

Signal has been working perfectly ever since. Still, I'm now compiling a list of people I message on there as a contingency plan, should thing go awry again.

I've been using #DeltaChat more lately and more and really love it.

People always ask: 'How do you do it?'

The answer is simpler than you think. We just opted out. We live without credit cards, PayPal, Amazon, and Gmail. We replaced Microsoft, Booking, Meta, X, Nike, and every other US brand. We don't use Android, Windows, or Apple or any other brand.

It’s been over two years now, and we’ve completely escaped American surveillance and tech colonization.
I can honestly say: life without them is GREAT!!!!

Creating another chat platform is not hard. Making one which sucks less and you can get people to use it is a lifelong challenge.

I personally use DeltaChat, Telegram, #Matrix and Discord. And I used to use IRC. #DeltaChat already is very very good for private chats and they also haven't written the infrastructure from scratch. They just have built on shoulder of giants.

When I was a younger programmer, I believed I should write lots of code. As I grow older, and wiser, I know that I should achieve me goal with the least amount of new code written.

Suite des essais de la nuit (peu dormi...) autour de #DeltaChat avec découverte du client #ArcaneChat et de la mini-appli #Traero pour gérer les listes de courses (vraiment chouette !).

Très content de ces essais. Avec ArcaneChat, l'ouverture des appli est bien plus rapide. J'espère que cette rapidité ne se fait pas au détriment de la confidentialité.

Maintenant, j'aimerais vraiment comprendre comment installer mon propre relais, mais je pense que ça va être au-dessus de mes capacités.

Hi @arcanechat !
In the drop-down menu, there is something like "show all the locations". What is it please ? Does that mean that #ArcaneChat or #DeltaChat can see and stick the user's locations ??

Una delle cose belle di #deltaChat è che si possono creare e gestire più identità in maniera estremamente semplice, che un'identità non rivela su chi la crea più di quello che chi l'ha creata ci mette dentro ed è facile sbarazzarsene quando diventa inutile o migrarla e ridondarla se diventa più centrale.

Quindi ho creato un'identità da mettere nel mio profilo sul fediverso, il cui destino dipenderà dalla qualità dei contatti.

> For ArcaneChat, i thought it was just a client for #DeltaChat , but it asks me to create a new profile, I can't use my existing one...

it is a chatmail client like Delta Chat, and yes you can use your Delta Chat account in ArcaneChat

in the welcome screen there is an option to "add from second device" and also import from backup

#DeltaChat utilisé avec l'appli ToDo List, pour la liste de courses partagée, c'est sympa, mais pas super efficace. Souvent ça met du temps en à charger.
Bon, c'est pas la but de DeltaChat, alors tant pis. Mais conséquence : j'ai toujours pas réussi à trouver aussi bien que google keep pour les listes de courses partagées avec ma compagne. C'est relou. (Surtout de confier sa liste de besoins à google, alors qu'on a pu virer google de presque toute notre vie numérique).

> bon sinon, en effet #deltaChat utilise les mêmes protocoles que l'email, mais c'est tout de même très différent...

@novacustom I've never seen a frontend to PGP that I liked. #Deltachat uses it transparently, I like that.

Zitat: "Ende zu Ende Verschlüsselung wäre vermutlich eine zentrale Grundlage. Die aktuelle Chatkontrolle greift verschlüsselte Nachrichten bislang nicht direkt an. "

Ende-zu-Ende Verschlüsselung gibt es standartmäßig mit Delta-Chat aus Deutschland, umsonst, deutscher Server (nine.testrun.org), EU-gefördert, sicher. Über Spenden freut man sich.
Gibt es auch hier im Fediverse: @delta
