Wasn't this what Matrix was for?

Matrix isn’t private at all. All metadata is shared+stored by both your server and mine (no sealed sender). Encryption is worse (no double-ratchet) and there’s no guarantee of encryption at all (some clients don’t even offer it). It’s also a lot harder to get set up and IMO the clients are much worse.
