Chatmail makes e-mail cheap again

new chatmail-based instant onboarding system, e-mail addresses are becoming, like in the early 2000s, cheap and virtually free. But this time around, there is no company posturing to “do no evil” luring everyone to their central “ethical” service and then drop the pretense soon after. Running a chatmail server is a cheap activity that we want people to be able to do on the side and on low-end hardware all across the world. Chatmail is best described as an ephemeral end-to-end encrypted messaging routing system running at Internet-scale.

Libre software and more decentralised than Signal but less than SimpleX.

Good defaults help spread libre software, privacy.

Maybe, but then people disagreeing with those defaults leads to the massive amount of fragmentation and "too many choices" we are now dealing with in the FOSS world.

What is up with SimpleX people? It's like the new Rust or NixOS crowd. Anytime a messenger is mentioned, you can bet there's a comment about SimpleX in there.

SimpleX is libre software and decentralised, the most decentralised voice chat here, so why spread anything else?
