A bunch of marketing blah blah, I wonder what they're up to.

Do you get fined if you are unlucky to have no harvest and cannot bring anything back?
I don't know what would fit your needs, but Signal does not require Play Services. And even if those are present, it does not leak data to Google. Other than "Signal is installed" and "You get a push message", Signal does not put your messages into the notifications. Instead Signal connects to the Signal servers and then gets the encrypted messages from there and only then decrypts.
Even if you have Play Services installed, you can force it to use a background connection inatead, if you disable Play Services before installing Signal, it wall automatically fall back to it.
If you want a version without Play Services libraries, you could use Molly, a hardened version of Signal, which is available in a version without those libraries.
Molly even allows linking phones as secondary devices, not just desktops.
Matrix is not the right protocol for staying anonymous. There's way too much unprotected metadata.
You might be able to mitigate that somewhat by using an instance that is accessible via TOR and being careful who you communicate with, depending on threat models and so on.
But if you want to communicate anonymously and not leak meta data... Probably not what you are looking for.
- user names cannot be changed
- never delete your database, have backups, all the state is in there, if you lose your DB, you essentially have to set up a new server: Your server will say you are not in a room while others say you are, so you cannot join. Always keep your DB backed up.
Only if you have a different use-case or if you are a fundamentalist. Most software is not inherently bad, it just might not be what you want.
The generation before mine used to give people things like oranges. Not expensive tablets that landed in the trash at most two years later.
You can have christmas and presents without it becoming absurd.
I always tell people: "Give me nothing, please. And if you insist, then please give me something I can eat and which only temporarily needs space or just give me money and I buy something I need anyway."
And then I might buy food or cleaning equipment, the sort of things you need to buy all the time anyway.
Could be both that and burn out and/or depression. Talk to a professional, not the internet, about this.
Pretty much the only one.
Though there's also Neochat fron the KDE F-Droid Repo.
Not having systemd was always the only reason I did not seriously consider using it, now I will have to re-consider.
Oof, hopefully you have photos at least.
Sending all the voice messages I get to some server? Uhm, no.
Great idea in theory, though.
