Looking for a good secure chat alternative?
Make an account at https://dismail.de and get yourself a good XMPP chat client.
Make sure to get one that can use OMEMO encryption, which Dismail supports. I like Conversations on n Android. ChatSecure is recommended for iOS.

Decentralized, time-tested protocols with modern encryption are a Good Thing.
