The thing is... What alternatives are there? Signal can't be trusted (on the very same website there is an article about it). I'm not using closed source alternatives, Simplex is kinda shady too tbh and I'm not even sure I could get anyone to use it.

I don't like Matrix/Element either but sadly its the best open source chat solution we have.

all this stuff just made me go back to IRC and realize how much I missed it.

I am still mad that are no mobile clients that supports multiple accounts. So I am ending up installing for each account a different client.

Edit: added mobile.

NeoChat on KDE allows me to choose which account to login to when I start it.

Does it let you be logged in as both ?

If I want to send and receive messages from another account, I have to press 2 buttons to switch to it. Otherwise, I still get desktop notifications from all of them, I think.
