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.
when the messages arrive instantly.
That is protects my privacy and works well which is why I use Signal exclusively!

Well, that might be delusional in regards to all that security and independence wishes here, but: being able to message people I want to message.
Am instant message is good when it’s signed properly by the user.

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.
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.
E2ee, lack of tracking, and system agnosticity.
Secondary to that is being decentralized, but that’s a pipe dream.
