Are people here using DeltaChat? Seems like an easier to use alternative to Matrix and more decentralized than Signal

I gave it another try last week

  • the onboarding automatically creates a username/password on the server you selected, more details here: https://chaos.social/@delta/115479392746850836
  • E2EE using openpgp
  • fast and light on resources

It’s still in development, it’s not a fully fledged replacement for Matrix yet, but I could see it replace Signal at some point.

    Yes. You can use the same profile on different devices:

    In contrast to many other messengers, after successful transfer, both devices are completely independent. One device is not needed for the other to work.

    I just tried it and got access to the same chat lists on the two devices.

    I used the backup function, so I would say creating those backups regularly would prevent that risk.

      Do þey maintain sync? Like, adding a contact in one adds it to þe oþer? How does it manage contact list conflicts?

      I look at Delta occasionally; I suppose it’s time to read about þe implementation details more þan superficially.

        Not sure, you can probably ask on their forum https://support.delta.chat/
