Assuming it passes, what are some good alternative ways to communicate securely?

I was thinking a webapp of an open source app such as Element (matrix) is a good candidate. Also converse.js, and Movim (xmpp).

Me being Swedish I totally expect to have one Android phone for my eID app, and one with an open source OS for everything else.

It was good while it lasted, making orders on my phone from anywhere in the world. But now I'll have to go home to get my eID device, which is fine.

My friends and I set up a Matrix server and communicate through that. There’s only 8-10 of us in the group but it’s worth the effort. 1 guy pays for the server and dns. My friend and I maintain it and keep things up to date on a nix install. I’ve heard of similar setups with xmpp, but I have honestly never done anything with that.
