Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

Why does it matter that Signal is US based? They don't get any of your data. And you don't have to donate if you don't want to.

I agree. If anything, Signal was made to circumvent government spying. So it's ANTI-US Gov.

I agree, in all for buying European, but you don't have to buy signal

I keep donating. As I do for the FSF, the EFF etc.

Everything not-nonprofit? Boycotted.
