Anyone else here tried out Delta Chat?

TLDR: while deltachat isnt literally perfect, it seems to have done a great job balancing privacy and security with ease of use so that normies will find it easy to use it while the truly paranoid can still use it if they put in a little extra effort. it solved the vast majority of problems with encrypted email like slow message speed and meta data leakage with chatmail servers, and has helped develop what seems to me to be a super promising web app format. although i've only been using it a day and a half, ive done a lot of reading and testing on my own so im confident what im saying has a least a little merit, although i'm sure there will be at least a few things that will only become apparent after a few weeks of use. from perusing the forums and their mastodon, the devs seems very competent and engaged as well, so i have faith that issues that pop up will be fixed in a timely manner.

who it is perfect for: people trying to get their family/friends off of something like whats app, anyone who wants a privacy-focused instant messenger that just works.
\ who it will work for with some tweaks: someone who needs the strongest security measures like a journalist or anyone fearing repression
\ who it will probably not work well for (yet): someone trying to run public groups like telegram or a gaming app like discord. you can make public groups but they're janky.

warning: this post is extremely long, which is why it's split into spoilers.

This got really long my bad lol (it's just under 1600 words not even including my final thoughts...), hopefully splitting it into spoilers helps. Why did I write this monstrosity? i was paid i just think it's a really cool service that deserves a lot more attention than it currently has and i want people to check it out so i wrote everything down i could think of both positive and negative ( i also have adhd

To try and keep the post body just a tiny bit more reasonable, Final thoughts and links to articles/mastodon tweets are in this comment here
