I’m trying to figure that out actually. I think ideally end to end encryption is important. No mega corporations like Meta. Being able to send pictures, videos, and pdfs. Being able to have calls both voice or video. I’m not sure any messenger has all of these things, but I’m on the hunt!

That’s actually really cool. I’ll have to check it out closer. Thanks for the suggestion.
E2ee, lack of tracking, and system agnosticity.
Secondary to that is being decentralized, but that’s a pipe dream.
When its private and end-to-end encrypted at all costs.
Something like Whatsapp will never be or telegram is not by default.
Signal and Matrix are good.
Fun fact WhatsApp uses the same protocol for its message encryption as Signal, but not for its Metadata.
That is protects my privacy and works well which is why I use Signal exclusively!
This
XMPP / Jabber. Because: Open Source, organization behind it, old and battle tested, possible to selfhost, lots of clients on all platforms, end-to-end encryption.
when the messages arrive instantly.
