Have you looked into Matrix / Element?
https://matrix.org/
https://element.io/
I caution mentioning both Matrix, and Element as if they are synonymous -- they are not (I'm quite certain that that wasn't your intent, but the usage of the forward slash could be interpreted as such). It may lead to confusion for newcomers. It would essentially be the same as saying "I recommend ActivityPub/Thunder" to someone who you want to introduce to Lemmy. Matrix is the protocol, and Element is simply a client that interacts with the Matrix protocol.
I personally think that it's sufficient to recommend Matrix if one is mentioning chat-app alternatives. Of course, nothing is stopping one from also recommending a client, but I don't believe that it's entirely necessary.
very happy about matrix v2 future. it will be awesome then!
Seems to be getting recommended by other users as well I will check it out and thanks for the reply.
Yep. One can even self host so no one can really ~~force removing~~ do something to e2ee
@blkpws @XpeeN the EU is planning on forcing backdoors in E2EE via the proposed Chatcontrol. It seems like the are backtrailing at the moment though.
I have not, but will read up on these two and thank you for your reply.
