what are other options?
Matrix. It can be self hosted, federated, and has encrypted chat rooms.

I want to like Matrix but it has some serious usability issues (at least Element does, its flagship client).
I haven't used Revolt but looks a lot more polished.
Matrix is great and works great.
Element is a semi abandoned client that happened to come from some of the makers of matrix.
Use literally anything else. Fluffychat works for me. Element is okay for debugging sometimes so I keep it handy.
But the commenters point stands. In matrix, you can send whatever you like, as illegal or morally corrupt as you wish because its nobody‘s fucking business AND e2ee.
If someone on my server sends csam, I would never know unless someone reported it to me. Because thats how privacy works.
The new Element X is really great, but only available for iOS and Android. Unfortunately no desktop or web version.
It is pretty good but pretty reduced in functionality imo. Thats why I generally suggest fluffychat. Its nowhere perfect either but it works better on a daily basis for me.
Element is a complete disaster.
Like, completely unmaintained and broken.
