Just installed @delta and was under the impression that it was email based. I expected to have to put in some email credentials and use my local email server. But instead it created a disconnected profile and just uses IMAP as a transport?
https://delta.chat/en/help does not make clear how this actually works.
Decentralised is a great buzz word, but without better description of how it works makes it difficult to trust.
https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits doesn't mention architecture, just encryption.
@keverets Tap Create new profile -> Use other server -> Use classic email as relay, there you can enter email credentials of your own server.
@keverets@social.librem.one When i started checking it out awhile ago, it was not difficult to use your own mail servers if you wanted to. Since then, they've made that path extremely cumbersome as they want everyone using chatmail servers now. At which point, half of it's selling point, to me, was gone.
Going back to XMPP.
