It was never a fight to win, only delay the powers that be.

Direct democracy is needed if you ever want a chance to actually “win”.

We did... Switching my family to DeltaChat, as that should be safe for now.

Nice, can i ask what made you choose DeltaChat over Matrix?

Definitely, I made a post about it recently: https://piefed.zip/c/privacy/p/763572/looking-for-a-federated-alternative-to-signal-as-they-might-have-to-comply-with-chatcontro

Does deltachat have calls? I thought it was email-based.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 2 points 2 months ago

They do in beta, you can enable it in the settings to test it. I tried it, it works okay, especially considering it's in beta.

I don't understand how something like that would work on matrix or xmpp. I'm feeling safe for now. With everything happening with digital freedom, I'm afraid someday my digital presence will have to be limited to i2p. There isn't many services available on it.
