I think my preference for IM might be going to #Deltachat for now. I dislike that Signal wants a phone number and is centralized and won't let F-Droid build and distribute a client. Also, I've been using Matrix and operating a server for years and I was a fool it's bad and I want to quit.

Deltachat works with any email account and uses it for everything, it's basically E2EE chat over IMAP and SMTP using a subset of OpenPGP. It's simple, FOSS, works fine, has stickers!

Happy to share with you the QRCode you can use on #deltachat to have a chat with me.

Delta Chat is a chat/messaging tool like Whatsapp, Telegram or Signal, but instead of authenticating yourself with a third party server, you just use your email and keep all of your data in your mailbox.

You can read about DeltaChat here: https://delta.chat

You can connect with their official Fediverse account with this handle: @delta

This will stand along with the other channels for a while, just to see if it's worth keeping.

Enjoy!!!
