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 π
#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.

in reply to F. Maury β • • •@x_cli two questions:
What does PFS have to do with minimizing metadata?
Can you link a real-world case where PFS played a role and protected someone from repressive persecution?

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.

You described the setup in all its beauty just perfect.
The point is that #DeltaChat is only the messaging app. The messages are transported via email and so there is no central entity with your data.
