      I’m trying to figure that out actually. I think ideally end to end encryption is important. No mega corporations like Meta. Being able to send pictures, videos, and pdfs. Being able to have calls both voice or video. I’m not sure any messenger has all of these things, but I’m on the hunt!

    When its private and end-to-end encrypted at all costs.

    Something like Whatsapp will never be or telegram is not by default.

    Signal and Matrix are good.

    XMPP / Jabber. Because: Open Source, organization behind it, old and battle tested, possible to selfhost, lots of clients on all platforms, end-to-end encryption.

    Am instant message is good when it’s signed properly by the user.
