@Elena Brescacin For me there are multiple reasons why to prefer @Delta Chat over other similar apps and platforms.
It's free, open-source, self-hostable, respecting privacy, giving control to users rather than to someone else who might have the whole platform under his control.
However most prominent reason why it's so appealing to me is that screen reader #accessibility is being taken so seriously and actionably from the dev team. They have no contracts, no investors, no one time opportunities pushing for accessibility features and they are working on these features from the bottom of their hearts.
Do you think so called gate keepers would care to implement some of their accessibility if they have not been pushed to do so? Why do you think it takes so long to fix some accessibility related discrepancies in the most popular messaging apps?
I think this invisible message should be warmly understood by the blindness community and other communities where it makes such a significant impact.
Aren't you happy you do have verry accessible messaging app at your disposal you can freely use to its maximum?
XMPP is good however it's not yet screen reader accessible on the major platforms.
Matrix is also good it's even fully accessible technically however it still can be improved in this regard and it's more difficult to adopt. Further accessibility improvements are more difficult to get implemented when I am comparing to delta chat.
There were other attempts at a messaging app such as tox in the past that were verry promising however screen reader accessibility has never been recognized like this.
