I see people around me "migrating" to #deltachat from other messengers that they start mistrusting and stop associating themselves with those platforms. It gives me a very warm feeling. Of course it is a pleasure to know that a project you've been committed to for almost 8 years finds its unique place in a very complex, competitive messaging apps galaxy.
But I also feel like we've been here all this time not because we were waiting for "the heyday". But just because we like what we do at Delta Chat, technically, socially, symbolically.
However, when new waves of people do come to us, I am glad that they find a welcoming, usable, cosy and friendly environment. We've been trying to make it a home for ourselves, and it means that it can also be home for others.
