Signal, telegram etc have the same problematic architectures. Of those kinds of solutions, I like Threema best, but nobody uses them (which is only a problem because of their architecture).

So I wanted to get a solution with a decentralized architecture, pretty much like the fediverse.

From what I can see, the fediverse activityPub with MLS layer project (to enable fediverse end-to-end encrypted messaging) is still in the functional documentation stage.

So, what do you think of Element as a messenger (which uses matrix protocol)?

Is there anything about the standard for xmpp that guarantees e2e messaging, I was unable to find anything that even claimed it had the ability. I know that practice is under attack, but while it is still legal to do so I would like to support e2e forms of communication as much as possible.

You can use it, yes. There's OMEMO, it is based on the Signal protocol's encryption scheme, just adapted to XMPP.
