Well, I'd be very interested to look into Matrix.

Tried connecting to the matrix.debian.social server: with the 2 clients 
in buster I tried I couldn't find a way to specify SSO[1]. The Android 
client did recognize the server is using SSO, but I got some error after 
login.

I'll stick with Signal for now, at least it's something that I can 
confidently recommend to people as "WhatsApp, but really 
secure/private".

Had an account and tried to promote it at the time[3]. Maybe it's better 
it didn't succeed though.

Unfortunately the only resemblance of a FLOSS alternative is diaspora, 
which besides an unfortunate name[4] it still misses a lot of 
functionality. Apparently most developers only care about the micro 
blogging part, or which there are already several FLOSS alternatives.


[1] As per [2], it authenticates against salsa.debian.org, where I 
already do have an account
[2] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianSocial
[3] Yes, I know, Google, but it was worth a try to break Facebook's 
monopoly.
[4] While most of my close family is in the diaspora, most of my friends 
are not.


Kind regards,
Andrei
