    Time for a federation of messengers. The XMPP protocol is ready and waiting for you.

        There are many servers to choose from:

        1. Prosody
        2. ejabberd
        3. Openfire
        4. Tigase
        5. MongooseIM
        6. Metronome

        They are easy to set up, and low on resources.

      there are many fediverse alternatives, but honestly they’re deserted.

        That’s true. But it’s nice to have an account on a federated messenger and use it with a couple close contacts, as you won’t feel affected by the constant threats to centralized services.
