Yeah, don't use NATO technology. Those who think they're in the good graces of the empire should not consider themselves safe either, even those who work on its behalf might step on the wrong toes.
Briar is fully decentralized chat, not federated, only dependent on Tor. Session is probably pretty safe and worth checking out, though it's piggybacking on a cryptocurrency network called LOKI ("low-key") for its routing. More feature-complete, user-friendly alternatives like SimpleX unfortunately aren't trustworthy, having devs tied to Israel in particular.
