btw, Matrix server requirements are much higher, and the client apps are less user-friendly
For example, arcanechat.me server has more than 1400 users and the server is using around 800MB of RAM, CPU is idle most of the time or really low usage, less than 3GB of disk (including whole Debian operative system etc)
Yes and no, it allows to login without providing any data or using any email account, in that case a random/anonymous account is created in arcanechat.me which is an email internally but optimized for chatting with similar speeds of other chatting platforms
Also with arcanechat.me server unencrypted messages are not allowed at all so you can be sure you don't accidentally leak any message, also all messages are removed from the server immediately after downloading them (or after a few days when using multiple devices)
#DeltaChat a privacy-focused messenger would benefit a lot of a designer, take a look at https://delta.chat/ and contribute if you can! ❤️
I feel so seen, users often directly drop a lot of new feature requests just when I am announcing a new upcoming feature. And no one is donating to me while I even pay servers for them.
ArcaneChat is a Delta Chat client and uses the Delta Chat core (which contains all the crypto and logic and any app can use to implement e2ee IM) and it is based in the Delta Chat client, which has been audited around 6 times over the years: https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits
For iOS you can use Delta Chat: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/delta-chat/id1459523234
It is compatible with ArcaneChat
Mmmh but the instance itself is not about politics at all and the rules seems fair, I don't need the admins to have the same political ideology or being vegan or not because I am. Or I wouldn't even use Lemmy then? because they are the developers in the end. As long as they don't do something pretty bad, they are free to have their own opinions. It would be really hard then to find an instance where you agree in everything with the admins 😅
Thanks for clarifying!
Why is Lemmy.ml "a strange choice for an official community" ??? It is about FOSS which ArcaneChat is and it is maintained by the Lemmy developers and I joined it 4 years ago, is there something I should be aware of? Could you please elaborate?
For sure!! The app is decentralized/federated. You can host your own server: https://github.com/ArcaneChat/chatmail
And some 3rd party servers are discoverable inside the app at registration time.
The app can also be used with classic email servers so if you have an email server you can use it as well with ArcaneChat
If what you want is private/secure encrypted email that the provider itself can not even read, I recommend you arcanechat.me
wow! thanks for the TIP, sadly when I try to submit arcanechat@lemmy.ml there it says "Instance is not registered"
