The #DeltaChat server that I was using seems to have stopped working for receiving messages, which sucks 😞 but such is the nature of decentralisation 🤷 It's really easy just to start a new account on a new server - so that's not really a problem - but I'm lucky that I only have one contact that message on the app because "re-adding" people isn't super straight forward. 🤔 #technology #apps #messagingApps #internet #chat #e2ee

    @matt@oslo.town You can also have several relays on the same account. Contacts will default to the last that they heard from.

    Because #DeltaChat failed to work, it meant the person messaging me defaulted back to #WhatsApp. A win for Mark Zuckerberg.

    @matt@oslo.town Der deutsche Deltachat-Server nine.testrun.org ist stabil und verlässlich. Er wird von den Machern von #deltachat selbst betrieben. Über Spenden wird sich gefreut. Deltachat ist auch im Fediverse: @delta@chaos.social

    @matt@oslo.town Just beginning DeltaChat right now, so i may be wrong, but i think you can subscribe to different servers at the same time, such as if one disappears, others remain.
