Folks, this should inspire you to start self-hosting a federated, decentralized chat server with freely available source code by yourself or with a small community. Governments can coerce these big, usually-corpo centralized servers to give up data but good luck if there are hundreds of thousands (of millions?) of small servers with 1–10 users on it & clients not controlled by a single entity for distribution (easier now that y’all coerced Mommy Apple to let you sideload applications & use alternative package managers).

All federated services grossly violate GDPR.
Sounds like GDPR is the problem then, not federated services.
Matrix I guess?
No thanks
If you don’t trust matrix.org, then you can self host the server yourself. Plus, the article you included is outdated.
