use matrix, briar, simplex in that order

also what email platforms + vpns do you recommend, out of curiosity?

Matrix isn't as good as Simplex Chat. Briar is good as it is very hard to censor but it does use battery and requires you to be only all the time. (unless you count Briar mailbox)

sure, simplex is very private, but its also a pain in the ass to use currently. i feel like matrix makes a decent tradeoff between easy use and privacy
