It is popular to criticise surveillance/capitalism and to want/work towards a decentralized, secure and diverse communication and media landscape. However, there are real devices, networks, states and stores to navigate, inducing technical and usable-security challenges. #deltachat dev efforts are following a "speculative realism" instead of an idealist approach. We care about cooperative user testing, maintenability and development. We btw moved to #rustlang in 2019 ... when it wasn't cool :)
