probably matrix. it’s decentralised, but not with the same protocol as the other things in the list. which makes sense, instant messaging is not social media.
briar is great, but i don’t think any of these services are really recommended for their privacy. rather, it’s ease of switching. doesn’t briar require in-person verification?
What is suggested alternative?
IRC
But IRC is also centralized. You don’t peer/chat between servers?

My friends and family use Briar. It is without a question the most secure, most private option.

You can add at a distance. You can also “introduce” two contacts to each other. There’s also forums and groups you can create or join.
