I want to connect my neighbourhood in some way, but I don’t know how to handle this privacy friendly 🤔

we want to connect to coordinate … lets say some gardening. we can handle first information via email, but afterwards it gets messy for the organizer. the neighbours don’t care about privacy at all as far as I know so Element/Matrix won’t work. and most of them don’t have 'media literacy skills. should I give in and forget about a coordinated talking ground outside of neighbourhood meetings irl?

    So I’ll just provide a QR-Code to the grouchat and they are in?

    Yes!

    Is Arcane available for both IOs and Android?

    Oh okay, my bad. I forgot about iOS 😅 ArcaneChat is available only for Android, but DeltaChat is available on both. They are inter-operable, so you can tell Android users to use ArcaneChat and iOS users to use DeltaChat. Or use DeltaChat for both. ArcaneChat just adds a couple features like Markdown.

    And do I need a new inbox programm or an extra email if we use emsil like chat? I use thunderbird and I feel like there would be a lot of alerts popping up?

    DeltaChat creates an account on its own kind of servers automatically so you don’t have to worry about that.
