Secure Messaging Apps
Does anyone know of a good, open source, private, secure, messaging app that does groups as well?
An alternative to all the usual suspects.
Thanks

From what I saw, there are many software pieces out there, and I wouldn't even know them all.
Also note that since I run a server with various pieces of communication and group software, I found that there are very few truly free pieces for e.g. a plain chat server and the ones that I saw have many limitations, or are of a "limited trial type" for otherwise truly expensive offers.
Yet, your question is too vague really to know what you seek:
Which platform do you intend to use and how much maintenance effort can you handle ?
What reliability level do you seek, starting with automated rollbacks or backups up toredundant servers ?
And for how many users, which means that the software may or may not need to be able to run on a distributed environment ?
What security features do you seek, as that will directly influence what users that can join ?
What kind of "messaging" do you seek, as that means pretty much everything thinkable including text, voice or video ?
And what functions like simply today's fakebook's linear chat style, a somewhat structured environment like Discord or Telegram ? Or even, since I prefer proper structures, or a modern forum style with unlimited structuring options while offering an integrated group chat tool ?
Also, please be aware that "open source" does not imply "cost free" or "Cabal free", for which there are many examples.
If you wish to look at some example environment, I invite you to my private server where various software for this is already running.
