Usually when alternatives for messaging apps are recommended it’s Signal, Threema or Element but all of them still seem to have small inconveniences (Signal is American, Threema isn’t free and Element just seems too complicated).
Today I stumbled upon Delta Chat for the first time and it seems to be the ideal solution. It’s european, free, open-source, decentralised, usable on almost any device and privacy focused. But the fact that I’ve never heard about it before makes me hesitant.
Has anyone of you used it and can share their experience?
Edit: Here’s a link to their official website: https://delta.chat/en/
I joined lemmy and SimpleX chat at the same time. Being especially motivated in the moment, I messaged the developer of SimpleX chat directly about creating a lemmy community. I expected no answer but received one almost immediately stating enthusiastically and politely that one already existed, then providing a link to it.
No one else I know uses the messenger or can be practically motivated to do so, so I haven’t been using it myself, but I very much appreciated that level of engagement on the part of the devs.
