When the delta chat website is linked on mastodon, the preview looks like the screenshot. I don’t know how this works as I can not find the wording on the website. But I think the word “e-mail” should not be associated with delta chat as it causes misleading expectations and people think delta chat is an e-mail client and are frustrated that it is not.

It is fixed now, linking to [https://delta.chat/](https://delta.chat/) has new preview.
