RE: https://chaos.social/@delta/116505223145222985 All of the advances in #deltachat apps and the growth of the #chatmail relay network, wouldn't be possible without public funds and private donations, an estimated 800K EUR in 2026 ❤️ money goes to ~16 FOSS contributors with no money left for president, board or director salaries 🖤 Signal uses >50 Million per year, Telegram and Whatsapp 100's Millions, and they are all not building permission-free decentralized chat infra and apps, let alone secure mini app ecosystems https://webxdc.org

"Popularity is overrated" is an often occuring phrase in our circles. Which is of course nonsense because only what is popular, counts, right? Only what everybody else does is a valid choice, right? #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc are used in private places and communities that people are molding for themselves. We are just providing tools and approaches that work ... At least most of the time 😅 "Nothing works all the time" is another project mantra. Brb preparing the next releases :)

the public #chatmail relay list https://chatmail.at/relays covers about ~20% or so of chat relays we heart about and have traces or hints from, and we definitely don't see everything -- which is how it should be :) Best of all: you can now start using multiple relays for your chat profiles, so even if one relay goes down or is blocked temporarily, chatting continues. https://delta.chat/en/2026-03-31-zero#maximizing-availability-and-resilience-through-multi-path-delivery

@rakoo@blah.rako.space no, user numbers are getting.increasingly unknown even to us. We tried to express this. That more people are joining the fun and contributing in various ways, is what we experience and appreciate. All three key efforts,#chatmail #deltachat and #webxdc are community efforts.

What if all public funding and all private donations to our efforts stop tomorrow? Users should be fine for years thanks to the wonderful world-wide community of #chatmail relay operators 💜 Relays are dirt cheap to run. Also, our developments are much cheaper and less complex compared to what we know from comparable efforts. No worries though! We currently have moneys to help sustain ~15 contributors, with a sum similar to what other projects pay for their foundation president/CEO alone :)

@chris nicht mit einer #Chatmail Adresse. Das macht schon deshslb keinen Sinn, weil Chatmail Adressen keine unverschlüsselten Nachrichten empfangen können. Wenn ich #DeltaChat mit einer E-Mail Adresse verwende kann ich E-Mails-Adressen anschreiben. Wenn ich eine Chatmail Adresse verwende nicht.
