@tael@yiff.life we can't offer a full comparison but here are three key points: 1. Tox is not a cross-platform user offering like #deltachat, but more an infrastructure library like https://github.com/chatmail/core 2. Tox can only transfer messages between contacts who are online at the same time. complicates mobile usage. 3. Tox depends on a global distributed hash table (DHT) to find other contacts; doesn't work in highly restricted networks like during national internet shutdowns/larger failures etc.
