@delta I used Delta Chat since it's invention, but I just deinstalled it, since I gave up hope for it to get an option to prevent others deleting messages on *my* devices!!! The other thing that prevented adoption at least for group chats is that there can't be firm admins for groups. There's great work in Delta Chat & it made huge progress over the years, but forcing remote message deletion & unlimited editing onto all users is an absolute no-go.

@STP_KITT We actually also got a lot of people being thankful that they could remove messages they had sent to the wrong chat, sometimes with sensitive info. See also https://www.typing.com/br/articles/making-digital-mistakes
As to editing one's own messages, we didn't hear many complaints although in theory it could be problematic. Mostly it's used for typo-fixing and fixing some grammatical nonsense, or some inline web-link. #deltachat is meant for usage with somewhat trusted people, not unknown people who try to trick you.
