Transparency report: #deltachat gave out data for the following number of users in the last years: 0, nada, zilch.

granted, it helps to not have data to begin with πŸ˜€

#Telegram is the exact opposite: they have _all_ the data about users, message histories, contacts, group and channel memberships, phone numbers, media files, bot interactions etc .... all in the clear on their central server, ready to be grabbed.

Good attempt, but I'll resist the urge of adding you to my talk 😁 Please implement PFS to be a candidate for the next one: cfp.pass-the-salt.org/pts2025/… ;)

Can Delta Chat serve as a Telegram replacement in the way that a Telegram channel can have hundreds of thousands of subscribers? I’m trying to find a way to persuade much of Ukraine to get off Telegram. It’s used here as a news service and we get air alert information on it. Of the channels I subscribe to, the one with the most subscribers has 900,000. Could Delta Chat handle that?

@djembro no, delta can not currently do large channels as telegram does. delta chat pretty much stays clear from social media features and focuses on private chatting in groups who typically know each other. groups with 100 people or more work well.

Well ... it's based on email. So the limitatiom would be the capacity on the sending and receiving server(s). But there is no central server that has to carry all that load. But that are just my thoughts.
