   There is no shortage of startups and enterprises animated by, or outright proclaiming, replacing e-mail as the de-facto open internet messaging standard. VC Investors are forever fascinated by funding such endeavours. #matrix #simplex #slack etc are examples.

   #deltachat endorses e-mail but reconfigures and repurposes it to serve for interoperable instant messaging. The #chatmail server network relays end to end encrypted e-mail only, and servers are reduced to dumb store-and-forward relays.

     @delta that's why you're going to win in the long run. And I realize it's not about winning, but rather having multiple options. Still, it felt good writing this statement 😉

     @arutaz at he upcoming openpgp summit in April post quantum cryptography will be a topic. ... See also https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc/ which is close to finalization ... So sooner or delta will grow support for pqc but it's, frankly, a bit overrated. There are many more immediate threats to care for like blocking and censorship attacks. Because what good is a service, however cool.cryptographically, if it can not be actually used?

     @delta does Delta Chat have post quantum encryption?
     If not, is that planned?
