They sold to zoom a few years back and it seems like zoom's just letting it rot. They had a CA expire at the end of last year and it took like a week for new clients to start reaching package managers

the encrypted chat that i found least difficult to host has been XMPP/Jabber/Jitsi. most modern clients use OMEMO so you get essentially the same encryption features as signal without the centralized hosting. some are even adding support for encrypted video calls which is pretty neat. i've since taken my server down, but it was really easy to operate. much less of a pain than matrix for sure.
Just use Matrix or spool up your own instance of something open source like Rocket Chat or Mattermost if you want security. Most of the "security" platforms that exist as a service are lies or trash anyways.
If you use matrix, don't federate. It leaks metadata like crazy (hard not to when federating) and was built/incubated at a canadian telco that was a notorious mossad front for harvesting telephony metadata in north america.
Nice, everything's a honeypot isn't it. Self hosted IRC it is then
tbh it's pretty great unfederated/single-user. people can IM you where they want and you get it all in one place
I'm the most secure and use Snapchat. The messages auto-delete! /s
yeah I use it but nobody else uses it so who knows. I guess it's a decent enough way to publish your personal GPG key linked to your social accounts & website. So basically a linktree for nerds. Also unless you want to trust keybase with your private key you have to manage it yourself which basically puts you in the same usability bind as crypto bros. Buying a trezor or similar purely for GPG/SSH/LUKS/U2F key backup & management is kind of fun though.
