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?
XMPP? The clients not supporting things can suck, but it's worked well for me.
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
