and btw, wait for your family to want to migrate their account from one phone to another ex. from Android to iPhone or the other way around, this is easy and smooth in Delta Chat, and it is a pain or plain impossible in most other apps including Signal where I have hear more than one saying they just lost all their chat history in a migration

I don't think so, literally, Signal installation is much complex, first your family need to solve a CAPTCHA, then enter phone number, SMS code etc. in Delta Chat they directly just set an avatar and name and that is it, for getting in contact they just scan each other's QR or tap in the menu and click "invite friend" then they can send their invitation link in the WhatsApp family group

I think the more important part here is not to do the same mistake again, switching from WhatsApp to Signal is not solving the actual problem, you are switching from one centralized phone-number-based American server to the other and nothing prevents the later to end up in the same situation in a couple of years

thanks a lot!

thanks for the heads-up it was an accident was thinking this was lemmy-support community
