Ok, maybe not for the win per se, but I am switching over to DeltaChat as I really only have two people I share with.

While its not perfect, it works well enough for me, I just send the occasional message, link or image to others or m'self, and it does that fine. This time around, I've got the sticker thing sorta fixed, Android doesn't offer a sticker option, something I need to see if'n I can figure a work around for, but I've got it working well on my desktop. I've also tried the Mastodon bridge, and that works fine, but having your home timeline show up as chat messages get old fast, notifications are a little bit better, but still, bad idea. There is a Telegram bridge, but that looks like it only works to bridge Telegram Groups to DeltaChat, so that's not all that great.

So what is DeltaChat? Its an email based encrypted messenger. You can use an existing email address, though I don't recommend that, or get one from DeltaChat or a couple other servers. Clients exist for Linux, MacOS, iOS, Android... And I suppose there's one for Windows too.

I guess if'n anyone wants to try it, or has questions, I can try to answer them, just shout at me here.
