Where did #deltachat land with LLM contributions? Are they going the slop route or did they end up being cool?
We don't think any institution or state has the right to prevent families and friends from private chatting, physically or digitally. But the Cyber Authority China (CaC) seems to take offense:
- they made Apple remove #deltachat iOS for mainland china
- their great firewall appears to block some #chatmail relays
- if you ask DeepSeek directly about Delta Chat, it doesn't want to talk
It's pretty sad, really. Everybody on this planet needs, and has a human right to private communication.

Doch, man kann es herbeireden. Man nennt das Werbung.
#DeltaChat hat schon vieles, vor allem ein leicht bedienbares Onboarding. Oma und Opa freuen sich über nutzerfreundliches Einloggen. Kostenlos, im Gegensatz zu #Threema. Telefonnummer nicht erforderlich.
Mehrere Profile verwendbar.
Das einzige, was wirklich noch nicht top ist, ist die aktuell fehlende Adminfunktion in Gruppen.
Man muss diese Messenger immer einfach irgendwo benennen, ständig drüber schreiben.
Verteilt eure Nutzernamen, IDs oder Einladunglinks in E-Mail-Signaturen, in Portalen, in Foren etc.
Klebt QR-Codes als Kontaktlinks dahin, wo sie von den Leuten gelesen werden die euch erreichen sollen.
Man kann die QR-Codes auf Anstecker, Bierdeckel, Visitenkarten oder einfach einen Aushang drucken.
Mit DeltaChat einfach mit separatem Profil Gruppen für einzelne Events erzeugen und den Einladungslink vor Ort auslegen, damit sich Teilnehmer so connecten können.
Einfach anfangen, und nicht damit aufhören.
@Lilith Bin ja immernoch der Ansicht dass @delta / #deltaChat sich für Organisationen anbietet, weil #PGP/MIME funktioniert und #eMail-Infrastruktur eh vorhanden ist.

All of the advances in #deltachat apps and the growth of the #chatmail relay network, wouldn't be possible without public funds and private donations, an estimated 800K EUR in 2026 ❤️ money goes to ~16 FOSS contributors with no money left for president, board or director salaries 🖤
Signal uses >50 Million per year, Telegram and Whatsapp 100's Millions, and they are all not building permission-free decentralized chat infra and apps, let alone secure mini app ecosystems https://webxdc.org

Parla is no longer depending on DeltachatDesktop to work, it's now able to create, transfer profiles and relays by itself. Looking forward distros to help me draw the best way to ship a separate jsonrpc server, maybe even sandboxed separately from the UI app for security reasons. i'm open to suggestions here :) But hopefully this way we can get the flatpak ready https://github.com/trufae/parla/releases/tag/0.2.4 #deltachat #gnome #flatpak
Hola usuarios del #FreeSoftware

Making sure that deleted messages are actually deleted and unrecoverable is more involved than most folks think. The FBI could recently recover deleted Signal messages from an iOS phone because the notifications you see on your phone were stored in an extra database. Apple has now fixed this, also making #deltachat iOS users safer. Few know that so called "forward secrecy" is all about deleted messages becoming unrecoverable, see https://autocrypt2.org for our plans

#deltachat user profiles are private and invisible to the public. No one can discover you, or your children, via phone numbers or any other public handle. Chat profiles exist only on user devices. No PIN and no "SMS verification code" ever asked or needed.
The lack of "public discovery" also means you don't auto-discover others via phone numbers or other public handles. Getting in contact with others is "opt in": you scan a QR code or click an invite link to join a group or open a chat.
A new release of Parla is out! The 0.2.2 release of the #deltachat client for GNOME resolved some of the most usability and feature requests! There's still a long path to reach feature parity with the official one, but i'm on my way! https://github.com/trufae/parla/
This morning nine.testrun.org was briefly unavailable, some network problem. A good time to remind everyone to add a second relay to your #deltachat app:
1. Go to https://chatmail.at/relays randomly choose one of the listed relay pages and copy the invitation code to your clipboard
2. In delta chat settings go to advanced/relays and tap "add relay" and paste the invitation code
3. That's it.
If one relay is unavailable you still can receive and send messages.

Aprovechando que me he desvelado y que me han dado acceso a la web de traducciones de #deltachat, he estado traduciendo parte del FAQ al español.
Pero va tocando preparar el café ☕
Tenemos un grupo en Delta Chat para hablar de manga, anime y otros temas relacionados. Si tenéis la app y queréis pasaros por aquí seréis más que bienvenides. Y si no la tenéis esta es una buena oportunidad para probarla.
Le tengo mucho cariño a xmpp, pero me ha dado por probar #DeltaChat y tengo que admitir que es muchísimo más amigable para gente que, como yo, no tiene ni idea de los entresijos de la informática. Me he abierto diferentes perfiles, instalado varias miniapps internas, conectado móvil y ordenador... Todo en un ratillo porque ha sido facilísimo e intuitivo. Llevo años usando xmpp y, cuando menos me lo espero, ahí sigo encontrándome con el temido «el mensaje no fue cifrado para este dispositivo».
"Popularity is overrated" is an often occuring phrase in our circles. Which is of course nonsense because only what is popular, counts, right? Only what everybody else does is a valid choice, right? #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc are used in private places and communities that people are molding for themselves. We are just providing tools and approaches that work ... At least most of the time 😅 "Nothing works all the time" is another project mantra. Brb preparing the next releases :)

@pixelschubsi @adbenitez new protocols are fine. The point may rather be that contrary to popular nerd belief protocols are only one part of an effort. What distinguishes #deltachat from #xmpp is that one is a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms and using standards under the hood, while the other is a set of specs with many different implementations and UX approaches on the various platforms, and sometimes tenuous compatibility between them.
@rakoo no, user numbers are getting.increasingly unknown even to us. We tried to express this. That more people are joining the fun and contributing in various ways, is what we experience and appreciate. All three key efforts,#chatmail #deltachat and #webxdc are community efforts.
#deltachat contributors range from age 16 to 65, spanning diverse genders and even more countries and cultures. We have many discussions, and also conflicts but we usually don't carry those out in big public groups but rather go for 1:1s and generally small-group discussions. There is no central assembly or board that decides everything. It's more chaotic and admittedly hard to get an overview on, but thats' also how the yearly #CCC congress comes about, which many of us regularly attend.

@severin thanks! Unfortunately, it is not likely the apps will offer contact discovery themselves. It would bring #deltachat closer to being a social media app, and invite spam and abuse which we are not prepared to handle due to the decentralized nature of our efforts. We do not know, mediate or see any interactions between users, an providing central discovery would break that privacy property.
boostedAfter three intense months of work from more than a dozen contributors, #deltachat 2.48 releases are rolling. Maybe the most feature-packed releases ever?
- "zero metadata" messaging
- native Audio/Video calls on Android and iOS, as well as UbuntuTouch
- Group and Channel descriptions
- A new background audio player
- Revamped Download-on-Demand
and, last but not least, the long-awaited next-generation of messaging resiliency through "multi-path" routing ....

* #Saracroche 1 year old
* #Schildichat back on track

In #DeltaChat when you go into Settings -> Connectivity, what is "Incoming Messages" and why does mine say 21 MB of 100 MB used? Is that per month, per week, per day?
End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ...
Both #deltachat and #signal go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. #Matrix stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.
Everything is better than #Telegram which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.

Alguien (creo que en el blog) me dijo que Delta Chat no es la mejor opción para grupos públicos. Efectivamente, no lo es. Delta Chat es una aplicación pensada para usarse con amigos y gente cercana, por lo que todos los miembros de los grupos tienen los mismos poderes, los de administrador. Y recomiendan grupos de "solo" 150 personas.
Como todo, está perfectamente documentado en su web:

https://adrianperales.com/2026/03/delta-chat-puede-ser-la-respuesta/
y de que @rober, @fmolinero y @revu insistieran me he creado una cuenta de Delta Chat.
La he creado desde el ordenador de mesa, que no sabía que se podía hacer —gracias, Revu, por el tip—.
Tengo que decir que si desde un móvil es igual de fácil crear la cuenta, es ideal para personas que no tienen ni idea de tecnología.
La pena: Mi móvil y mi portátil son antiguos y Delta Chat no funciona en ellos.
OK. If I get it right @delta relies on relays and (will) no longer support plain email IMAP boxes. This requires more dedicated software deployed and maintained for these relays. I tend to think this decreases the robustness, vs relying just on existing regular mail servers. Too bad, IMHO. But if UX demands it, I see the developers' perspective :-/
The last two weeks saw a dev gathering in the black forest from several in #chatmail, #deltachat and #webxdc communiities, also joined by @n0iroh and @rpgp folks. The tech demos and hacking results we presented to each other, were pretty mind blowing and tracing a path to very interesting futures, delivered in working code, not just some grand plan. Let us just say for now that we are getting to the fun parts of an age old http://testrun.org motto :) happy #equinox! May the tides turn!

Switch to #DeltaChat – the decentralised secure open source messenger from Europe.
Fun funding fact: If we had 10 times more money to develop #deltachat , the #chatmail relay network and the #webxdc secure mini app ecosystem, we would still have ten times less than what signal has (let alone Whatsapp or telegram). But we don't want to increase nudging people for donations, as we have many users who don't even have a legal way to send us money, let alone the means. It is a special kind of reward that delta works where most if not all other messengers fail to work for users.
I know #Signal is very popular, but at least for me, using NVDA, the desktop client is far less screen reader friendly than the mobile clients. The mobile clients work far better for me, but I honestly don't use my phone for much these days outside of being a media player that can make phone calls, so, as of right now, I'd recommend Delta Chat instead https://delta.chat/en/ #DeltaChat
@delta So impressed with #deltachat !! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Hardest from my side is convincing WA family users to switch......
OH in some chaos circles "#deltachat is the new emacs of operating systems" ...
We are not sure about that 😂 but what we do know is we are soon bringing out releases that we have been working towards for 12 months in multiple already released steps. The funniest thing? Nothing changes on the surface which was precisely what we worked for so long ... more soon, after internal testing and some pending bug fixes land :) and no worries, there will also be interesting visible changes. Stay tuned :)

just tap the attach button, then "Gallery" ("Images" on desktop) and select all images from the last family barbecue 💡
depending on the system, you may need to long-tap the first image 💡
Delta Chat necesita algún método para recuperar la cuenta en caso de pérdida del dispositivo. "Sincroníza el perfil con otro equipo" no es una respuesta válida para el 90% de las personas. Si añaden algo así, lo consideraría un exitazo.

Larger offspring is going to #China for a school trip, so we caved and set up a cellphone for them. We will have to install some local spyware (#WeChat) because apparently a lot of Western stuff over there is locked and they'll need something to communicate among the students and teachers and they've settled for that. I'm also putting #DeltaChat there because at least for communication with us it'll hopefully work.

#DeltaChat experimentations and questions
I attempted to install Delta Chat on my Pixel 9 running GrapheneOS and I couldn't get the QR code pairing to work.
So I attempted the "restore from backup" method and it worked seamlessly and instantaneously.
Since Delta Chat doesn't require a phone number or an email address, I wonder what are the best practices to ensure you don't lose access to your account? (In case you lose your main phone)?
I have it set up on my iPhone, on my second phone running GrapheneOS, on two Macs in Paris and now on a MacMini in Italy... so 5 devices in total.
How often do you run backups? Shall I do them every week? Any other advice to share?

Delta Chat is awesome and the in-chat mini-apps open a hell lot of social developments in emergencies, without needing a public blockable/censurable website or app stores that can reject your app
you can easily package a tool that is useful to your community and distribute it, and ship it to all platforms and the craziest part is: your tool gets end-to-end encryption, offline-first and easy synchronization of state out of the box!
#DeltaChat #digitalindependence #sovereignty #webxdc #ICE #usa
After evaluating a number of E2EE decentralized chat alternatives, the one I ended up *actually using* with all its warts is #XMPP.
#DeltaChat is technically very interesting and I will keep a close eye on it, but until its severe issues with group moderation are fixed, it's a non-starter for anyone wishing to run groups with more than a handful of users who know each other personally. Its back-end tech stack is also not any less rickety than XMPP setups, and isn't easier to deploy either.

Forward secrecy und post-quatum resistant encryption are on the way and anounced for coming this year !!!
So, there is no reason to avoid Delta Chat ! 😉
@adbenitez @DonTheMaster @seymour Here's an example of where I think #DeltaChat exceeds #Signal for UX:
When a personal URL (say, one's personal blog) is put into the #DeltaChat "Bio," when it's viewed on another device, it becomes tappable/clickable (in Android/Linux Desktop flatpak)! Awesome.
Does #Signal's very comparable "About" field afford this linky goodness (tappable/clickable)? No. **I strongly prefer that it is tappable/clickable**. These are the UX touches that matter to me. It's a functionality/usability thing - not so much an eye-candy thing.
(Note: #DeltaChat's "Bio" field is found in "File" -> "Settings" -> "Edit Profile" in Linux, or the Kabab menu in the upper right -> "Settings" -> tap the avatar circle in Android).
#DeltaChat is a great decentralised 🇪🇺 messenger alternative to #WhatsApp and #Signal. @delta
The onboarding of a new user is ridiculously easy. Suitable for messaging w friends and family as well as security conscious users.

WRT #Discord, there's an effectively unsolvable conundrum we can't really face, folks. We'd all like the high moral standards that are found in the #OpenSource community, when done right: nobody screwing each other over for their PII, and other forms of leverage (walled-garden lock-in). Geeks get this, normies don't. (This gulf is very hard to cross, IMHO, without resorting to actual educational curriculum explaining it in schools.)
But then we have conflicting desires: we *also* want the buttery smoothness to a secure messaging ecosystem - total convenience, total functionality, *complete with a level-playing-field, "Net Neutral" infrastructure to run it on*, with no lobbied government or tech-bro interference skewing the traffic rules (QOS Rules). Good luck with that one, without strong gov't control, and solid grassroots lobbying behind it.
Lets be honest: #Signal is so great *because tens of millions of dollars were charitably spent on it*. Moxie didn't do his genius work *for free*. Where are tens of millions of *more* dollars going to come from, to make a Discord alternative? Would that be nowhere? Look, there's no quick and easy answers to Discord enshittifying. I've looked at #XMPP, #Matrix, #Deltachat, #Discourse, #Flarum, #PHPBB, #Zulip, #Mattermost, etc. and *each has its warts*. You'll dislike each of them, for different reasons. Each paints itself into a different corner. *There were no tens of millions of dollars upfront, at an early design phase, overlooked by qualified Computer Scientists, to prevent this, in each and every case.* #IRC doesn't bear mention in this comparison. None is the perfect replacement or answer. *None had those tens of millions of dollars which Signal had.*
Alas, they don't stand a chance to be the all-singing, all-dancing solutions that the techbros can finance, *along with their predictable, rotten lack of a moral compass to accompany the slickness.* Every non-geek teenager will side with the techbros, owing to 1) convenience, and 2) that's where their friends are, *which mean the world to a teenager*.
So in summary, we are doomed by our own psychological limitations, as a demographic. The psychological predators - the techbros - can't help but prey on the normies, and the normies can't help but turn to the predators, who at least offer convenience, if no other thing. And the geeks who have a moral compass stand in the middle, ignored by-and-large, feeling anxious and powerless, not having any tens of millions of dollars behind their altruism.
@pixelschubsi @autistics thanks for that history. Is anyone good friends with celebrities who might promote, say, #Deltachat? I don't suppose, anyone is friends with Bad Bunny? Taylor Swift? Madonna? Lady Gaga?
@delta What are the specifications for uptime % for a #deltachat
chatmail relay server ?
Don't think I've seen anything on that...
I used to run a server from home, I wonder if that would be an option 🙂
I've discovered #deltachat 🙂 a while ago but only now starting to see the "beauty" in the system.
Would love to create a chat mail relay !
Q: Does it make sense to have a server locally here in New Zealand in my case.
Or would a webserver with a nz domain name be ok even though the server itself might be lin let say Germany....
Suggestions for hosts ?
