Delta Chat is like Telegram or Whatsapp but without the tracking or central control.
Supports GMail, Outlook and more!

And while I was having breaksfast, I remembered where I had heard the name.
A few Cuban young people were hanging out and chatting away, I joined them to practice Spanish and was fun. Then it became clear they were still living in Cuba - and that surprised me, that they could be connected into the Mastodon instances, while still physically there. Internet in Cuba was slow, hard to find and expensive last time I was there.
They explained that they used their government issued email accounts and something called #deltachat . Aha!
This has opened a channel they wouldn't have otherwise; our chat was fast paced, and knowing it worked bridging these and across national barriers to other traffic is great.
@esperera_98 is at our instance, some others were from different ones.
@design_RG @delta @esperera_98 oh amazing! So Govt promotes Deltachat? Nice.
Nooooo.
I don't think they know their people are using it and getting access to the Net under the radar.
Which is even more amazing!
