#DeltaChat experimentations and questions
I attempted to install Delta Chat on my Pixel 9 running GrapheneOS and I couldn't get the QR code pairing to work.
So I attempted the "restore from backup" method and it worked seamlessly and instantaneously.
Since Delta Chat doesn't require a phone number or an email address, I wonder what are the best practices to ensure you don't lose access to your account? (In case you lose your main phone)?
I have it set up on my iPhone, on my second phone running GrapheneOS, on two Macs in Paris and now on a MacMini in Italy... so 5 devices in total.
How often do you run backups? Shall I do them every week? Any other advice to share?
I honestly don’t know why Delta Chat is not widely used.
People tend to gravitate towards Matrix or XMPP which are not bad. My main complain with XMPP is the lack of decent clients on iOS. Matrix on the other hand feels like too much for most users.
Oh wow, a family group on Signal, that is a new for me.
I guess I am just biased because my family, who is in Mexico, mostly use WhatsApp.
Good luck with the migration!
it needs video calls and group moderation. but eventually it might have these too. also - no pr. also it is actually widely used, but maybe not in the global north, but rather in some censorship-leaning countries.
it is a totally amazing solution if you ask me.
> is actually widely used, but maybe not in the global north, but rather in some censorship-leaning countries
And here I am showing up again my bias. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been wanting to use it since I discovered it some time ago but I am bad at convincing my family and friends to move over and follow me 🫣.
I'm the resident geek / anti-Big Tech / anti-AI / digital sovereignty champion of the family and let me tell you, I often get treated like a Debbie Downer.
That's why I love the Fediverse so much - I feel like I'm amongst my people here 🥰
Samesies!
I did put a partial stop years ago though; it was getting out of control, almost to the point where every single reunion would turn into a tech support session.

This is the AI world we are building:
California Governor Newsom shares a screenshot of a really demented Trump post, which claims Newsom is dropping out of the 2028 race.
People then ask Musk's AI if the screenshot is real, to which the AI explains that Gavin Newsom has made a fake, photoshopped post misrepresenting what Trump posted.
The only problem is, Trump did in fact post that demented post. I just verified that on Truth Social (picture 3). But in MAGA reality, Newsom is now lying.

I ain't gonna say "I told you so", which is a really sneaky and backhanded way to say "I told you so". Fungi are a solution to almost everything, and we work for so little pay. For some Aspergillus, it's literally peanuts.

Grazie al clima imposto da little Kennedy, vengono spazzate via le ultime tutele che aiutavano i genitori con problemi cognitivi a NON (grazie a @77nn per la segnalazione del refuso) interrompere la trasmissione del loro patrimonio genetico.
L'interrogativo più importante che ci poniamo però è un altro:
se prendere in giro gli ignoranti ti premia mentre tutelarli può addirittura penalizzarti politicamente, chi si prenderà cura delle famiglie prive della capacità di discernere il proprio bene o il proprio male?

Dei 300 casi di questa epidemia in corso, il Dipartimento della Salute ha dichiarato che 255 erano persone non vaccinate, 23 erano vaccinate e i restanti avevano uno stato vaccinale sconosciuto. Un caso su 12 nello Utah ha richiesto il ricovero ospedaliero.

Remember these cowards for years told you that it was too costly & complex to follow laws to keep you safe.
Tech bros when the law protects consumers: "It's too hard, there's nothing we can do"
Tech bros when the law wants them to narc to fascists: "We must comply right away, so tomorrow we're globally rolling out our new Buttverify system, our new ai agent that crawls up your anus and takes a picture to send to your country's Customs agency."
What could possibly be bad about these companies having on-demand access to your face and ID?

Ricordate Abderrahim Mansouri, ucciso da un poliziotto – si diceva – per legittima difesa? Bene: pare non avesse alcuna arma con sé, e che i poliziotti abbian testimoniato il falso per salvare il collega che aveva sparato. In tutto questo il leader leghista che stava col poliziotto e che ha poi chiesto e ottenuto lo scudo penale per le forze dell’ordine ha qualcosa da dire in merito?

Prochain épisode, le marchand s'est fait remplacer par une IA qui se dit compétente mais qui s'avère finalement débile ?
@fredurb1 @gub Tiens d'ailleurs, je trouve rigolo "une IA qui se dit compétente" et je me disais qu'a mes oreilles 'une IA compétente' sonne comme un oxymore. 😆
Aussi, le thème du remplacement du travailleur par l'IA est difficile à aborder. Ce que j'ai retenu dernièrement de certaines lecture de papiers, d'articles et de stats, c'est que ce n'est pas le cas: mais que l'idée est utilisé comme prétexte pour virer des effectifs.
You know us: at Dyne, we've never been the type to spy on our own people. We're a community, not a dataset. But Discord's new age verification rules force exactly that: scanning IDs at the door like we're entering a nightclub, not a conversation.

As the European Union edges closer to rewriting the rules of users’ privacy online, debates surrounding the controversial ‘Chat Control’ legislative proposal reignite.
The latest developments include the Council’s vote to extend the application period of the interim legislation and the start of the trialogue procedure. The proposed law to scan private communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) has been subject to scrutiny from human rights organisations, tech companies, and civil society groups since its introduction in 2022.
This January 29th the Council voted to extend the application period of the temporary and voluntary-based screening regime (‘Chat Control 1.0’) until April 2026. With this derogation from the ePrivacy Directive platforms can decide to opt-in for voluntary participation. Given that this proposal still needs to be approved by the European Parliament, citizens initiatives against it are already forming, with activists calling Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to reject the proposal. The regulation has become one of the bloc’s most polarising debates on privacy online in recent years.
WHAT IS CHAT CONTROL?
The Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR), or ‘Chat Control’, is a proposal introduced by the Commission in 2022 in line with its ‘EU Strategy for a More Effective Fight Against Child Sexual Abuse’. If the legislation is adopted, digital communications services and online platforms will be obligated to detect and report CSAM. While EU institutions and proponents argue that the new regulatory tools are necessary to ensure the safety of underage and vulnerable users online, critics are not convinced. The legislation envisages, as a derogation from the current EU rules on protection of privacy online, an obligation for platforms to screen users’ communications for potential illegal content.
The client-side indiscriminatory screening mechanism means that the authorities may gain access to users’ correspondence before it is encrypted, rendering end-to-end encryption void. One of the main arguments against the legislation is notably the mechanism used for detection – experts point to the inaccuracies and mistakes in AI technologies’ output. ‘False positives’ can not only lead to the persecution of innocent people and erode freedom of expression online, but flooding the authorities with inaccurate signals of abuse can prove counterproductive to solving the issue in the first place by wasting resources.
The current ‘interim’ rules are applied on a voluntary basis by platforms which decide to do so, but most of the opponents to the regulation warn against extending the temporary framework, noting that it’s been in effect since 2021, at this point rendering the derogation semi-permanent.
… AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Critits of the legislation, among whom are the European Pirates, warn that forced scanning of private messages could weaken encryption, undermine fundamental digital freedoms, and set a precedent for mass surveillance across the digital space. Human rights activists pay particular attention to the possible infringement to the right to respect of personal life and personal correspondence. The broader implications of chat control on human rights and privacy online have been the main topic of contention, with a warning on the matter issued by the EU’s own Data Protection Board.
The legislative trend in recent years towards reducing privacy online and weakening encryption is particularly worrying. While the UK recently adopted its own Online Safety Act, also now under scrutiny, the European Court of Human Rights ruled against any efforts to weaken encryption of communications.
WHAT NOW?
Trialogues already started in December 2025 with the second round scheduled for 26 February 2026.
It is worth noting that the European Parliament already rejected indiscriminate scanning and blanket chat control in 2023, based on the report of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee. Consequently, it proposed modifications to the regulation, opting for targeted surveillance and only after a judicial warrant has been issued based on reasonable suspicion. Other aspects of the draft regulation, firmly opposed by Parliament, are the mandatory age checks and the provision to lock users under 17 years of age from certain apps. The age verification mechanism is also a part of the Commission’s guidelines on the protection of minors under the DSA.
Markéta Gregorová, member of the Pirates, is the shadow rapporteur for the ‘chat control’ file for the Greens/EFA. In the coming months she will be doing everything she can to ensure that the Parliament does not give in to the Council’s demands in the trialogues.
In a surprising turn of events in December, the Commissioner in charge of the dossier sided with the Parliament and its proposal. The Council, however, sways towards mass scanning. Nevertheless member states are still divided on the issue, with Czechia, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland still opposing the regulation. Germany, which until recently was the leader in the team opposing the regulation, has now softened its position and expressed support for the revised Danish proposal. These latest shifts in positions of the main actors in the trialogues make the results of the negotiations ever more unclear.
This is why it is important to act against the proposal before it is too late: sign the petition and contact your MEPs to ensure that the illusion of security does not encroach on our right to privacy.

Thanks for creating this guide and it helped me to gain a little bit more digital freedom 🙂
The only tricky thing was the DNS setup (and figuring out what it meant what I was shown on the screen), but that was because I haven't done that before. A couple of screenshots from your Hostinger example (blurred out where needed) would have been helpful.
It all works now and I have to figure out what to install in @nextcloud now (hinthint for article #5).

🐾 In Italia, la Giornata nazionale del gatto si celebra oggi, 17 febbraio. Questa ricorrenza è stata istituita nel 1990, la scelta di questo giorno è legata a diverse tradizioni e simbologie.
Febbraio è il mese dell'Acquario, segno zodiacale considerato libero e indipendente, proprio come l'indole felina.
Anticamente, secondo credenze popolari, febbraio era definito "il mese dei gatti e delle streghe".
Il numero 17 è stato scelto per sfatare i pregiudizi negativi; e poiché il gatto ha "sette vite", il 17 diventa simbolo di una lunga vita!
🐾🐈⬛E oggi il mio pensiero , il mio amore è tutto per la mia gatta Masha, che sta poco bene e che sta affrontando la sua piccola grande battaglia, per sopravvivere!Ed io non posso che starle accanto e darle tutto il mio amore e calore! Non è solo un gatto è parte della mia famiglia!🤍🐾🙏

I hear a lot about Matrix being a truly decentralized protocol. But if you register with an instance and it goes down, all users under that instance go down with it. It happened a couple of months ago @ matrix.com and everybody knows it.
Differently, Delta Chat allows users to register same account on different relays so if the main goes down, users can just switch relay and keep chatting.
That makes Delta Chat one step ahead. Prove me wrong.

Places burden of protecting one's identity onto end user. Anywhere else, if your account gets stolen, you can try contacting admins, changing password, logging out unknown devices. With @delta, user is one underportected device and QR scan away from unrecoverable grand theft account.
I find the trade-off fair and in fact quiet like it, but it assumes the end user is being careful and protects their device well. And in many cases users are, unfortunately, rather lousy with their gadgets and data.

worse case you tell everyone to kick the old profile from groups etc. and write to you from the new one
stealing your profile is not so easy unless you use phone without PIN, with multi-device as backup is hard to lose it
