    Use Signal or XMPP+OMEMO or anything else.

    Mandate social media to expose an open API and use the chat function with an OTR plugin.

    The solutions are all old.

    It’s just interesting how it all went from promotion of corporate surveillance to comms protection when supposed corporate shills won the election.

        It went out of popularity for a reason. I’d love a new protocol with XMPP’s mistakes fixed.

        BTW, OMEMO highlights one of those - it’s not as good as Signal by which it is inspired. Basically no metadata protection, which means that it’s as good as OTR with multiple devices.

        Some kind of Signal with federation (and good clients, not like signal-desktop) would be interesting. Maybe even p2p with some kind of relays (like in NOSTR) for history, offline messages, some kind of Telegram channels and such.
