#deltachat ist a community messenger much more than a monetary focused enterprise. Its offspring developments, the growing #chatmail and #webxdc efforts are also community grounded.

Is there any other cross-platform FOSS messaging project, implementing #RightToExit on many levels, putting all interesting and sensitive computation and interactions into end users devices, constantly and radically denying centrality/control of billionaires and big-tech, to the extent currently possible?

Delta Chat is since some years gaining usage by people forced to flee. Several of our contributors themselves migrated and others fear they might soon have to. Our technical designs and social approaches rest on a #RightToExit on virtually all levels. No walled gardens. No presidents.

It's true that #deltachat is a money-poor project compared to mainstream messengers ... But the question at hand in 2025 is: which messaging system will persevere when corporate platforms get corrupted and break?
