I really wanted this to be as popular as Lemmy, but it never caught on in a big way.

XMPP is a tried and tested e2ee standard.

There is mention of e2ee voice and video chat on the site.

Only way to install it with support for port forwarding on Fedora Atomic spins.

Add the rpm from protons website then rpm-ostree install package name.

This is one of the situations where layering packages is appropriate.

Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.
