In Europe everyone uses WhatsApp and I‘d rather use iMessage than sell my soul to meta… (Which I am. And Signal and Telegram. Only using WhatsApp for work)

Unfortunately, I don't trust Apple either. I think Telegram or Signal might be a good option, but then again. They are just a CEO away from it being shitty.

I wish there was a better solution that is OSS but it won't catch on.

Unfortunately it lacks things like video chat. :(

I think they're working on that but yea like all open source software it's a bit janky of a user experience.

Ya, I tried it. Not great. I also tried the Synology Chat which is basically slack.
