I am trying to wrap my head around hearing this in the same thread you recommend #Jami which the times I have tried I was never sure if my messages would ever arrive, some messages stuck in pending forever in a limbo for days even after subsequent messages to that contact were delivered.
Don't get me wrong I like Jami so much that I have it installed even having literally ZERO contacts/chats in it

> Technology like dht is well set up to allow for messaging without any gatekeepers or middlemen.
DHT is a really bad single point of failure. All it takes is a bad actor to flood it with fake data and the entire system falls apart for everyone under the load.
edit: here's a very recent paper showing a PoC defeating the current mitigation strategies

in reply to 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 • • •@pixelate @clv0 @delta yes but those are not being attacked by a government to censor dissidents. It's not important enough; it's not a threat to the status quo.
As soon as you give them a reason to do so, they will, and it will fall over.
edit: they can also block traffic to the DHT bootstrap servers which adds additional complications

That's why DeltaChat works the way it does. If you're a dissident in Russia, they can (and do) block Signal. They can and do successfully block services that rely on Tor.
But the Kremlin can't block all email without destroying their own ability to operate. So while they can block/censor private email servers, they will never shutdown providers important to their own economy like Yandex. So you can use DeltaChat with Yandex to successfully setup E2EE communication channels.
Email is basically a "utility" that has to be available for governments, economies, and the internet to be useful. That's why DeltaChat is leveraging it.

in reply to 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 • •@🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @Billy @Hunter Jozwiak On linux QT uses at-spi2 for accessibility on windows it used to use IAccessible2 and it's transitioning to UIA. It's different to GTK.
Back on topic I was trying out Jami a few months ago on android. The app seemed quite accessible however I had connectivity issues. On linux the app had more accessibility issues. Latelly jami have introduced so called open dht proxies that have reportedly improved connectivity for mobile apps though however I haven't played with jami with this inprovement in place.
These days I'm really excited about deltachat as I have recognized how much accessible the deltachat apps became latelly.
The fact messages are end to end encrypted as much as possible, chatmail does elliminate what makes email slow incl. spam / virus filtering, ability to migrate to a different chatmail relay is being considered / worked on.
Not to mention simple colaboration webxdc apps with p2p connectivity e.g. for handling file transfers, possibly audio calls in the future and other real time data.
So it is decentralized, it's federated, it's secure, it attempts to be lightweight as much as possible and as compared by other attempts it really turns to be that. Creating a profile, adding multiple devices, exchanging contact data is easy. Apps are very similar and simple at the same time on each platform. I believe it might be easy to use even for non tech savvy users.
Here is the blog post that is verry accurate and describes all of this in more details.

At that time I was also excited.
I'd be interested if you can say the accessibility of jami has improved since that time...
