Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

    If you run your own Matrix server that is not an issue. Can you do the same on Signal? Short answer: NO

      You’re still trusting the other user’s server regarding a lot of metadata

        Same with Signal. More so as it is centralized. So yeah, bad argument at best.

        It’s in my household and I use it to interact with family members. I’m sorry… are you attempting a strawman with me?

          Most people use it to talk to people outside their household
