Delta Chat is not as popular as other messengers but with decentralized messaging it's not doing so bad, is it? Or which decentral messengers do you know that

- have an as strong Usability driven development model,

- are available on many platforms and stores,

- spearheads unique concepts like https://webxdc.org (web apps shared in a chat) or https://countermitm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/new.html (Verified securely encrypted chats safe against active attacks),

- is constantly reaching out for cross-project collab
?

@IzzyOnDroid @aral @adalanerd https://chaos.social/@EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu Izzy you detected this 🎯 and sorry dear Aral if the joky rumor understandably upset you. Please inspect https://delta.chat/en/help#how-are-delta-chat-developments-funded for our funding stance .... FWIW we share fundamental skepticisms regarding VC funding, actually, but also it's a question if licensing can effectively prevent enclosure .... peace! :)

We hardly talked about #security audits but there is nothing to hide!

#DeltaChat received three security audits in total, covering core networking #encryption as well as SMTP/IMAP protocol and end-to-end encryption, and also including an audit on our recent secure server setup guide: https://delta.chat/en/2023-03-27-third-independent-security-audit

@LemmyDev @nx yep - a shame. Without ActivityPub client-to-server being wide-spread, it doesn't make sense to implement it as a transport protocol for Delta Chat next to SMTP/IMAP.

@nx it's conceptually similar but API/protocol-wise quite different. If someone would try to implement another transport layer in our Rust Core library then a big part of the apps would "just work". But that is a big if, and not a trivial undertaking.

@nx @LemmyDev I asked around in a dev chat - whether it's possible depends a lot on whether ActivityPub offers additional fields for metadata. In E-Mail you can just add more headers, not sure how easy that is with ActivityPub. Maybe the @LemmyDev folks know it out of their head?

@LemmyDev @nx hm, looks interesting :) but client functionality is not on the roadmap for this crate right now, it seems?
