@13reak@infosec.exchange @tobykurien@mastodon.social Years ago, I switched from Signal to Matrix, mainly because I needed to use more than one Android device. For about three months, I've been testing DeltaChat, and I must say it's a really good, mature solution.
However, it differs significantly from Matrix in terms of depth and architecture. Both solutions are decentralized. However, Matrix still has server-based message storage (like Signal), while DeltaChat only uses relays for transient storage.

@13reak@infosec.exchange @tobykurien@mastodon.social Whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage depends. While DeltaChat is better suited for new groups that require a high level of privacy, Matrix excels at organizing open group chats and managing their participants. Matrix also offers bridges to Signal, Telegram, and even WhatsApp. And Signal stands out for its verified participants. Depending on the intended use, DeltaChat, Matrix, and Signal take turns as the best solution.
