About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

      Is Activitypub designed for encrypted messages? Edit: My impression is that it isn’t

          Thanks for the reply :P I do have an idea of what Activity Pub attempts to do, and I would’ve been very surprised if it turned out that it’s well-suited for an end-to-end encrypted chat protocol

              Thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately, Signal is centralized and WireMin is closed source. Session does look interesting! Edit: Session actually has some security and ethical problems… Matrix may not have the equivalent to onion routing, but so far it seems like the best option

                to run a session node you need to buy a certain amount of their shitcoin and it has no perfect forward security so its alot less secure
