Let's confuse things a bit - there is a thing called #matrix - it is a decentralized and modern alternative to whatsapp&co.

You folks choosed freedom for microblogging - let's continue with freedom in chatting.
@milan I prefer this sort of apps for messaging : https://chatsecure.org/
ChatSecure is a free and open source messaging app that features OTR encryption over XMPP. You can connect to your existing Google accounts or create new accounts on public XMPP servers (including via Tor), or even connect to your own server for extra security.
@PastaGringo i prefer omemo/megaolm for e2ee. Matrix supports megaolm.
And i don't see google as an argument.
@milan me neither indeed. But XMPP self-hosted seems to be a safe way to communicate with a small community. I'll look Matrix, there is an iOS app?
@milan Riot - open source team collaboration via Matrix

Good to know ! Thanks
@PastaGringo riot. it's crossplatform and so far the reference app. Aaaand ... matrix is also a selfhosted thing - dunno what you mean.
