EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won't be in a long while), so let's try to mobilize people to Signal.
DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.
xmpp is like if deltachat was good
It also just gets blocked by autocratic firewalls. Deltachat is clutch because it can theoretically run on top of any email host so it's way more difficult to block.
