I am a firm believer that there are many privacy techniques you should focus on before encrypted messaging because they will offer you much more “bang for your buck,” things like good passwords, two-factor authentication, and even encrypted email. That said, I still believe that encrypted messaging is a critical part of a well-rounded privacy and security strategy. While the vast majority of our day-to-day conversations may be benign, it can still offer a lot of insight into who we are as people – our routines, likes, and personal thoughts. This information – mundane or not – is worth protecting.

I can't find it now but there was a person who was banned for saying the were Christian. They didn't say anything more and the could as well been LGBQ+. There were a few other instances that I am forgetting of bad moderation.

Anyway the centralized nature of Revolt Chat makes it no very appealing for me.

I agree with this. I will probably stick with either matrix or xmpp due, to their federated nature, and strong E2EE. Matrix is a better discord replacement, as it has more features, is more standardized, has a better web client, and has "spaces", which are somewhat analogous to discord servers.

Xmpp however, is much more lightweight on both servers and clients than matrix, and it's E2EE works more reliably (none of that "failed to decrypt nonsense), and makes a better E2EE messenger.
