Matrix/XMPP/Briar/SimpleX is probably the way to go. Either that or manage your own encryption methods, but take into account other info such as your contacts list can also be used against you.
👌 Second this. Owning a Pixel grants more options, just stick to whatever you’re more comfortable with. But don’t pay attention to anything anyone linked to GrapheneOS says on social media or forums. They’re very toxic, constantly defame other projects and never accept feedback. You’ve got a decent comparison on Eylenburg’s site. I’d go for Graphene on Pixels but going through all the new settings might be too much for some people who will feel more at home using any of the other options. CalyxOS will be out of service for presumably six months though.
