### Decentralized:
No single point of control or failure. A decentralized network operated by different servers from different volunteers arount the globe. You choose where your data stays or you can self-host your own server. Somewhat more complex protocols (because of federation between servers) and some extra metadata is added to the messages (without compromising privacy).
* [Matrix (Protocol)](https://matrix.org/) - An open network for secure, decentralized communication.
* [Element](https://element.io/) - All-in-one secure chat app for teams, friends and organisations. Keeps conversations in your control, safe from data-mining and ads. End-to-end encryption.
