the main thing my recent investigations into decentralized E2EE chat have taught me is that it is *extremely difficult* to build such a system and have it be highly usable.
every contender I've tried fails in some respects. so far my personal opinion is that Delta Chat is the most likely to develop into something I would consider 'production ready.'
for this reason, I will be paying the most attention to Delta Chat going forward, until I do another round of testing sometime in the future.
