Nov 10, 2026, 11:35 PM@delta Focusing on decentralization and security is great, but it doesn't do any good if you cut people off from the rest of the world. I thought DC was following the internet's "progressive enhancement" methodology in order to give the entire SMTP communications ecosystem a way to modernize security & capabilities. That's what the world really needs. Or is that still possible, but you're cutting out all the other servers/clients before they can catch up?
@Adam Most people in the last 2 years onboarded on one of the many relays which enforce end-to-end encryption already. Others use their own mail server and that works well, as they can relax rate limits as needed.
Nothing is taken away from interoperability between mail servers.
Delta remains a messaging solution that allows IETF standard compliant server implementations to fully participate. We ceased to advertise delta as plaintext email client starting 2 years ago.
Nov 11, 2026, 12:27 PM@delta Ah, so it’s only the smtp client programs that don't support autocrypt that will be fully cut off from interoperability?
