Our decentralized zero-metadata messaging approach is diametrically opposed to such big-platform designs https://delta.chat/en/2026-03-31-zero
But there is more: #chatmail relays are zero-state: you can wipe the relay's disks, create a new fresh setup, and users just continue chatting. Operators have actually done this. An *actually* state-less server

@delta Luckily the only thing I used Telegram for was to send me a link to download F-Droid.

@delta Love the hand-drawn illustrations!

@delta wouldn't that be state-optional technically?

@bjornsdottirs maybe! or "ephemeral-state-only" or "automatic state-loss recoverability"? When we get to do a full architecture/security doc, we will need to refine terminology , for sure.
