Amazing advice. Chatwise, I used session, but security-wise, it’s pretty bad and it’s still pretty new and not well-known. I decided to go on with a matrix client called fluffy chat.
As for device, that’s a great idea, which I havent thought about. I could use a portable touchscreen Thinkpad X200T for just everyday portable computing and as for at home, I’ll figure it out one step at a time.

I got you now. Before, I misunderstood what was initially said. I believed that the point being made was just speaking from a user perspective not from a foss one. The UX doesn’t really bother me since I just need a bare-bone messaging platform to just speak on. I found this matrix client called fluffy chat available on all the platforms that I see relevant.
Regardless, thank you for you assistance.
I was aware of matrix, but I thought it was only on desktop. I’ve heard great things of it, so I will switch to it. Thank you.
I don’t have any options other than my current spyware device, which I am in no position of replacing now or the near future, so might as well make the very little time I use it for communication ethical.
It seems like there’s been a misunderstanding, I’m speaking of signal alternatives not whatsapp alternatives. As much as I limit and isolate whatsapp, I need to use it to communicate with my family. However, it is possible to replace the main chatting program that I use.
With that logic, whatsapp is more secure than a random chat application just by the sheer amount of of eyeballs on it. It just doesn’t work that way
I know, but it is American-backed, centralized platform that can’t be self-hosted, and no one knows what code is running on their servers
Alright, thanks
Thanks. Yk a secure replacement?

To clarify my original reply to this more, I thought you were just comparing chat platforms in general and not considering if it was libre or not. Again, total misunderstanding from my side.
