@collectifission @davidbenque @delta You've never heard of it because techbros refuse to look beyond the words "email" and "pgp" as they think they understand what is going on here and that it's bad because "legacy email + pgp was fraught with problems" and "email has a bad metadata leak issue" (wrong, it's scrubbed here). They also immediately think "I don't want chat in my email, and how is this going to interact with my other email clients?".

You should not try to use a normal email address with Delta unless you absolutely have to. It takes one click to generate an anonymous account on an existing Chatmail server and then you share your invite link or QR code with anyone you want to reach.

It uses email protocols simply as a router of E2EE data packets wrapped in modern pgp encryption (audited, written in Rust). The emails are immediately deleted from the server when received (unless multi-device is enabled for your account; then they're expired on a timer) And when you use dedicated Chatmail servers there are zero concerns about messages being caught up in spam filters, etc, because those are completely unnecessary and have been eliminated from the tech stack.

Take a look at the latest HN submission for it and you'll see a giant wall of idiots leaving comments that prove they never even read the technical details of how it works.
