@utopiarte @delta I assume the answer would be "the latest version" since they introduced end-to-end encryption in the later versions and it would considered the "safest". In a way, with E2EE you theoretically don't have to trust relays that only pass around encrypted messages. Compare to the early days of Delta Chat where nothing was "safe" since it only relied on plain text emails to my knowledge. Of course I don't expect anybody to have been using Delta Chat for cryptographically sensitive conversation either, so I really don't know where this push came from.

@hypolite > Compare to the early days of Delta Chat where nothing was "safe" since it only relied on plain text emails to my knowledge. My understanding (and experience) was specifically that delatChat was from the get go E2EE. > In a way, with E2EE you theoretically don't have to trust relays that only pass around encrypted messages. For me that is the realm of metaData, who is communicatin with whom. Ed Snowden said that was the main interest not the details of the messages. In days of AI that part of the chessboard changed a bit but not to much. Even "Go to honeypot.xyz is just more data. (in a day and age where pagers explode in peoples hands) KISS means KISS Every extra line of code is to much, every aditional step is to much. And our minds and ideas are invaded by software examples and procedures of mean, illminded VC capital ideology. @delta
