 Great points. Asking mostly for community based chats. The key parameters I’m looking for are:
1. Not volunteering plaintext message content to Intel agencies 
2. Good UX
3. Not adding another piece of infra I have to manage


Bonus: don’t leak any metadata

 How many people in the group chat? like 20 or 200?

Are you trying to hide the metadata? If not, could use someone else's matrix server, one of the public ones

Just trying to get these people off volunteering IM data for AI based Intel machines

Signal can do private groups of 100
