@Jenetrix well, #XMPP just works...

Try @monocles / #MonoclesChat and @gajim / #Gajim.

They just work and do proper #E2EE!

Otherwise consider #IRC for bublic chats and #SelfHosted #Zulip for organization chats...

@kkarhan @Jenetrix @monocles @gajim both of those protocols are in fact in this list :p
also, my experience with XMPP (including Gajim) was incredibly flaky and the inability to reliably keep any history across a pool of changing devices was what ultimately made me quit using it tbh
@darkphoenix @Jenetrix @gajim @monocles @kkarhan Idn't gajim the client that needs a plugin for omemo?
