the only thing impossible is what you didn't even try 😁 besides you don't need to immediately convince them to ditch WhatsApp, nor do you need to ditch it yourself but just install it besides and make it your **main** messenger, convincing the close family you chat the most with to do this for you is not hard at all (but I don't know what kind of family do you have 😁)

2026-09-07 20:46:05 UTC

also another fun fact: the familiar, which is not a tech savvy person, didn't manage to make a videocall with me in Telegram, they didn't realize they were not sharing video, while in ArcaneChat they were able to start a proper videocall
sometimes even the most obvious "easy" things can be a huge barrier for some people and we are happy that ArcaneChat managed to make it easier for them

2026-09-06 17:50:09 UTC

fun fact: just migrated a family member remotely from #Telegram to #ArcaneChat
In Telegram when you are in a videocall if you leave the app, you can't see the video anymore! only listen, while in ArcaneChat you can still continue seeing the other person in a floating bubble while you move and work in other apps, which helps if you are assisting someone remotely

turn/stun is part of the chatmail deployment, if you are deploying the email server manually instead of using the chatmail scripts that set this up for you then you would need to install the turn/stun server manually plus some hacking to add the imap extension to advertise it to your dovecot

> It turns out that SMTP/IMAP was not that good of a protocol for IM after all.
it seems you have never looked at Delta Chat and chatmail at all, chatmail is just SMPT/IMAP, it is a deployment of postfix + dovecot, so if we translate your message to the reality this is what you actually believed:
"wow so it turned out SMTP/IMAP is a good protocol for IM after all, I got confusing thinking that chatmail was a chat protocol"

[...] because in DC the key is user ID, not some address in some server, and users can use several server-side accounts in a single profile, plus all the encryption is different as well, so it is too much effort for low gain and big downsides and missing features like being able to use normal email provider, ex. in Russia using Yandex is the last resort while xmpp, etc doesn't work

2026-09-02 18:11:14 UTC

- reply

> So why stick with ChatMail? That's the question I'm asking.
because it works, and it works very good, the chatmail hosters are very happy, they need to do zero maintenance, accounts are created and removed automatically, server storage is super low, same for RAM and CPU usage
it is just not worth the effort porting Delta Chat to use XMPP because in fact it probably only make it worse than now, and anyways it will not be compatible with other xmpp clients

even before the existence of chatmail, that is basically just a classic email server but properly configured to maximize speed and security, etc
it was always recommended to use a dedicated inbox for chatting with Delta Chat, sharing the inbox was possible but never nice and source of problems and annoyance for several people

> That *was* the case. But DC devs have made it clear they're not supporting use of DC with standard email servers anymore.
this is wrong and misleading, using your own email server is supported, what is not supported and was never really properly supported or recommended was to share a single email inbox for chatting and normal email at the same time, but you can very well use your email server with a dedicated inbox for chatting, which ALWAYS made sense

2026-09-02 09:54:06 UTC

I think your framing is a bit unfair, in fact from the projects out there Delta Chat Chat is one of the least assuming you are "some dude in the USA", instead you should be looking for "is there a project specifically targeting people behind the great firewall?", notice that this is a cat-and-mouse game, most privacy oriented apps are already blocked in China, Delta Chat was working fine until recently, it might get fixed, and they might keep trying to block

currently it is a manual process, in the future the app should fallback and iterate over your relays for sending if sending with one fails

also quite some people that are anti-ai

the joke is on you because Delta Chat is not social media but private messenger, you chat with your friends and family on it
there is no public groups, so you somehow managed to join some vibecoders group and then go to social media with a big misleading rant

that is a green area, the multi-relay feature was introduced this year just some months ago, and while currently it is as you say, you need to send a message to them or even just reading their messages will do
but in the future this will work even without you needing to write to them
in practice one doesn't change relays so often tho, so if you write to them while you already have 3 relays, that is good enough because the chances of all the 3 relays/servers going down is unlikely

an advantage that you have with Delta Chat, despite unlimited linked devices without need for a main device that could die any time is:
with Delta Chat you can use several relay servers at the same time and/or exchange them, so even when there is some Amazon shortage, you will be able to keep doing your business undisturbed, as we all know Signal and other centralized services have been affected by this, with delta you have zero downtime (and you could even selfhost)

hi, it will be removed after 30 days IIRC
the reason is so you don't miss messages, because some of your contacts might not know that you changed relays yet, in the future this will be improved to let your contacts know your new relays faster and then being able to delete the old one faster

TL;DR yes, better promote Delta Chat to family and friends since that is widely available across all platforms, avoid confusing them talking about different apps,
at least until they are full-in sold on Delta Chat and start talking about they would like to change the app colors etc. ;)

ArcaneChat is just one of the few available chatmail client (see https://chatmail.at/clients)
while ArcaneChat might be more appealing than the Delta Chat client for some people and have a couple extra features and refinements, unless you are targeting people with Android devices, better recommend Delta Chat to them since that is the most widely available chatmail client
in the end it doesn't matter, you can use ArcaneChat while others use DC, etc. chatmail apps are interoperable

probably the reason your family/friends didn't stuck with it was because they where using it in the pre-chatmail times??? using it with a classic email account really sucks
chatmail mail is still just email servers but optimized to offer an experience similar to IM platforms
as of why not xmpp etc., well it is a historical reason, what protocol is used internally is not the main driver for users but the features set, DC is made in a way the protocol could be change

yeah, moving is always hard, one thing that seem to help people to convince others to migrate from Signal to Delta Chat is the in-chat mini-apps, ex. collaborative shopping lists in the family chat, to-do lists, collaborative text pads etc.
also in DC they can create and subscribe to channels, which is not possible in Signal
another point is the good multi-device support and easy device migration, in Singal more than one person has lost all their data while migrating

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal is not a solution if you really care about #resilience and #autonomy
all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them easy to censor, the best services are the one that don't require any personal data at all to register, like #ArcaneChat

then you have #ArcaneChat, that on top of being encrypted email it also has support for reactions, group chats, channels, mini-apps, calls, etc.
it also supports devices back to Android 5 while #Tuta email app requires 8+
all while ArcaneChat's size is around 20MB

or perhaps you know you have to wait for fdroid if you really want to take it from there, the apk was released and you could have updated without waiting for fdroid

because you are using the f-droid version, you need to update from f-droid or directly from the releases page:

> Okay, finally a point I agree with.
you didn't reply to the post about Amazon knowing users' IPs and passively being able to map "who is talking to whom" even without Signal being aware of it
what is your opinion on that?
anyways, ultimately it depends on the thread model, and most of the time Signal is not worth the disadvantages or plainly fail to work/solve anyone's problems in practice ex. during censorship situations or autonomy / off-grid

> Your only rationale in the comic is that they are hosted on AWS.
the thing is, besides any technical matter, it is just plain bad to support Signal when millions of dollars donated go to Amazon and other big tech
> This is misleading. The phone number in Signal is not used for message routing at all
it is not, any government can block Signal's servers and SMS codes for login in, in places like Iran while Signal is not working during shutdown, ArcaneChat and similar do

> what can leak from Signal: the timestamp at which you joined the network and the timestamp at which the client last connected to the network
you seem to be on a higher protocol level ignoring that Amazon servers know users' IPs (often this means location/city) out of the control of Signal, the adversary can go directly to Amazon for this info without needing collaboration of Signal, and can know then what IP/user is sending message/traffic/data to whom

> Given that you're spreading misleading FUD about Signal
what part is misleading FUD???
> How do you ensure that a passive adversary who can see all messages going to and from a server in the network
for an start, there is no single adversary that can observe the whole network, and switching from one relay/server to another and using several at the same time is easy
how does signal, a central observer with access to all users' IP addresses is any better?
