in reply to Tuta • • •I'm a big fan of @simplex as well, especially due to the lack of MetaData.
Like the ex NSA Chief stated:
"We Kill People Based on Metadata'

One thing to note, as I understand it, self-hosting a node of your own actually reduces your anonymity.
Like Tor, the more traffic that goes through their servers, the more anonymous you become by blending your traffic in with the crowd.

in reply to Tuta • • •I use Threema, SimpleX, Element and Signal, with Signal being my main messenger. Signal is also by far the most popular with me!

in reply to Tuta • • •Haven't tried WhatsApp, so I'm not entirely sure what qualifies as alternative.
For chat in general I use Matrix for public discourse - ala IRC or forums - and Simplex for conversation.
