Basically chat skin for email with encryption.

[โ€“] adbenitez@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

Yes and no, it allows to login without providing any data or using any email account, in that case a random/anonymous account is created in arcanechat.me which is an email internally but optimized for chatting with similar speeds of other chatting platforms

Also with arcanechat.me server unencrypted messages are not allowed at all so you can be sure you don't accidentally leak any message, also all messages are removed from the server immediately after downloading them (or after a few days when using multiple devices)

I'm gonna give it a try, see how it functions.

Edit: okay, the app is solid.

Cool features, looks good, the protocol is supposedly secure. I'd say this is a damn good telegram replacement

Sure thing! ArcaneChat is decentralized: https://github.com/ArcaneChat/server

I've honestly just been debating adding a separate space to my matrix server for family

[โ€“] adbenitez@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

btw, Matrix server requirements are much higher, and the client apps are less user-friendly

For example, arcanechat.me server has more than 1400 users and the server is using around 800MB of RAM, CPU is idle most of the time or really low usage, less than 3GB of disk (including whole Debian operative system etc)

Mine is for 10 people and has been running on a 2 CPU instance with plenty of space

[โ€“] adbenitez@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I bet it is using more resources than my +1400 people server ๐Ÿ˜… but yeah for 10 people it is probably OK with matrix as long as they don't join some crazy federated groups etc
