   Note to self: Remember to mention #Signal and #Wire and all the other #WhatsApp alternatives any time I toot about WhatsApp's relationship with #Facebook.

   Otherwise the entire Fediverse will try to "help me" by promoting their favourite alternative... 😛

   I wish #Briar were out of beta. It's the only one that is actually radically decentralized!

   Next on my test plan is actually Delta Chat (https://delta.chat/). It's based on e-mail and #Autocrypt, so it should play nice with #Mailpile.

     @herrabre #deltachat is an awesome idea. I've tried it out a little bit with one other person who was willing to install it. :-D
     
     As a matter of fact, I use DC just as a mail client in parallel with my full-featured one. It works great for reading a quick view of the mail, and then if I need more context or if I want to reply I go full email. The best thing about DC as a mail client is that it puts all mail from one sender into one convo, so if I get 128 GS notifications, that only takes up one spot in the list when I open the app.
     
     Are you saying DC's encryption scheme isn't DC-specific, and that #mailpile supports it? That's awesome. TOFU crypto model best crypto model.

     @herrabre And K-9 supports it! Very cool.

     @wakingrufus @herrabre What's ugly about it? It looks just like WhatsApp.
     
     If it doesn't run, how can it provide instant messaging?

     @wakingrufus @herrabre Ok, so we simply disagree.
