In this version I tried to improve the sharing of the device position and the connection setup of 2 peers. soon I have to take care of the inport of chatData to become more device independent. -&gt; <a href="https://flop.chat" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flop.chat</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

I was skeptical but then I thought it would be a good idea to invest into DeltaChat, as well as Matrix. His argument, of course, wasn't good. He was arguing that we need multiple options in the case one of decentralized IMs fail. However this convinced me to give DC a try.</p><p>But now, I see that DC has very unique advantages no other messenger has. Their moto is "playing the long term" game. Unlike Matrix which suddenly exploded, DC moves very slowly. As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.</p><p>Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/webxdc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webxdc</span></a> in any other IM. However if you want something like <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Discord</span></a> guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.</p><p>BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> did with <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/OpenTechnologyFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenTechnologyFund</span></a>(<a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/OTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OTF</span></a>).
