Announcing the BSD Cafe chatmail server
-
@stefano @outofcreativity @feld This sounds great! Is there a way of signing in on my desktop without tying my phone to it?
Having to find my phone in order to scan a QR code to log in to a chat service seems like a bizarre login pattern to me.
@thomrstrom @stefano @outofcreativity QR code is really just a link that resolves to this:
dcaccount:https://chatmail.bsd.cafe/new
but you can install the app and then that link when you click it should work
also there's an invite link directly into the group which has a slightly nicer flow but doesn't guarantee your initial account setup was on the BSD Cafe chatmail server (but you can add many "relays" to your account without disruption or anyone noticing, so you can add BSD Cafe's chatmail afterwards):

@grahamperrin I think reading the faq could help. This is a little different from the other messaging apps - and it's better, I'd say.

So far, we are all going to be wandering around aimlessly until someone decides to take the step of throwing their QR code out tot winds and see who responds. Maybe someone here should make a chat group that represents this organization. Having our own server does not appear to be enough.

@grahamperrin Just send me a message here:

Deltachat is, for now, similar to Signal's concept, not like Matrix. It's more oriented towards a one to one communication than a "one to many". That's why there's the concept of qr code or link: the idea is that you can exchange your link with the people you want to.

I'll point to some groups. Consider that the users in the groups are all admins (it's not meant for public chats, but more for group chats) so I'd prefer not to disclose them here.
