We’ve been busy building and releasing but it’s high time to share some major news: @sovtechfund@mastodon.social is investing nearly €500K into #chatmail This 18-month commitment supports chatmail maintainers keeping the core infrastructure secure and evolving, which is the backbone for: #DeltaChat @arcanechat @deltatouch@social.tchncs.de Parla on Gnome (cc @pancake@infosec.exchange ) and many chat bots A huge thank you to the Sovereign Tech Fund for investing in open, secure and decentralized communication! https://www.sovereign.tech/tech/chatmail

    just to clarify, i did not received a cent to make Parla. I wished delta didnt mentioned several topics with mentions in the same post to avoid confussions and tons of mentions :D

    @delta @sovtechfund @deltatouch this makes it even more important to have a full ban on genai outputs in the deltachat project, including code, art, video, promotional material, docs, writing and everything else. we really want deltachat to be an ethical option support.delta.chat/t/any-official-position-on-the-use-of-ai/5039 please don't be on the side of fascists and billionaires

  • @delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund Arcanechat is AI slop its better to not associate deltachat with that project

    Open ##1895756

  • @delta @deltatouch @sovtechfund sounds great but I genuinely ask myself what you'll do with that money 🤔 isn't the chatmail server impl already complete?
