For someone relatively tech illiterate like myself- how does this compare to something like telegram and signal? What's the benefit?
the benefit is that it uses the existing email systems, and doesnt require account or data storage with other services
These two things conflict then. SMTP as a protocol is NOT instant. Far from actually. It's best effort.
i havent looked deep into the protocol, so i cant argue.
