Hi, in the last weeks I’ve started switching to alternative apps to better protect my privacy. Regarding instant messages I’ve started using Signal: I know it’s not the best one but it’s still better than Whatsapp. I’m trying to find a better alternative to Whatsapp, hopefully decentralized, but I’m having trouble, could you guys help me?

The app needs to have end-to-end encryption, one-to-one call and video call support and possibly easy to use (to make switching easier for family members and friends).

    +1 for XMPP. I use it almost exclusively now, and run my own small ejabberd server for my friends and family. Some clients even have video call support, but I’d say the lack of video call support in most clients is probably the biggest drawback (hopefully that will change this year).
