    So if you don’t need to create an account, how do you know you’re talking to who you think you’re talking to?

    I can see this being valuable as a Lemmy style service where I’m sharing information and reading information but want to be anonymous. But not a good service if I want to talk to my mom about a sensitive subject and protect my privacy.

      So if you don’t need to create an account, how do you know you’re talking to who you think you’re talking to?

      You use your email provider’s credentials to log into the app, which then creates an IMAP folder called delta-chat which houses all those conversations.

      You’d verify it’s your mom by starting a chat with “[email protected]” she’d verify it’s you by making sure it’s coming from “[email protected]
