PSA We are happy about the wealth of privacy focused classic email providers (proton, tutanota, posteo, mailbox.org etc) but they are not geared for instant secure messaging. Do yourself, family and friends a favor and use delta with any of the many chatmail.at/relays

Or setup a relay of your own if you feel like it.

Or use a a dedicated chat email address on your own or any classic email server that has reliable service and no obnoxious rate limits or annoying spam handling.

Cheers.

for setting up contact with a friend, see delta.chat/en/help#howtoe2ee -- there also is a mode that doesn't require a camera/scan-qr code but sharing an invite link.

@Delta Chat
Have you tried calling the person and attempting to onboard them using only voice?

The only thing that came to mind was something like: "Take a sheet of graph paper and start shading in squares. Shade the first square. Now the second. Now the third..." Of course, dictating a link out loud is not much easier.

I hope that onboarding two or three friends a day for about a week will make it clear that all the options you suggested are not great. :)
