Fuck... Is there an alternative? Can't use telegram cus banned, won't use signal because usa and for a while they got very buddy-buddy with the zucc, matrix requires me hosting and it isn't exactly private... So what's left?

It is forkable if necessary. I do think SimpleX is a great piece of software that shouldn't be reinvented because of the founder.

The write-up I'm referencing has some at the end. Maybe Delta chat?

why does matrix require you self hosting? There’s a bunch of free open-signup servers available
