While platforms like #Matrix or #Signal manage user identities on a server, #DeltaChat and #Chatmail are not platforms in the classic sense. They operate without a central registry, meaning there is no central gatekeeper to grant or deny access. This setup for private messaging naturally complicates invasive age verification. Without a public registry or user discovery, there is no technical hook to verify users. #Chatmail also enforces E2EE by rejecting all unencrypted data. ... (1/3)

Is it similar as the solution developed by #Jami #hubzilla #simplex or #nostr ? A kind of p2p with relay network?


A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.

With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing. See this fosdem talk by one of our lead developers mirror.cyberbits.eu/fosdem/202



Several of our teams will be at #fosdem26 ... we'll introduce our PQC and Reliable Deletion ("forward secrecy") efforts, and give an overview over multi-relay #chatmail architectures. Or catch us on the booth or some sunny place outside :)

attention: consider joining with a dedicated conference chat profile because large public groups can attract trolls. Your private profiles are safe/unaffected then.
