You make it sound harder than it is.
Server-wise you want either ejabberd or prosody for the latest features. Yes, you need to set up a server once and read some docs, as with every self-hosted service. And if you don't care about encryption enough to read about it you can just enforce TLS for client-to-server and server-to-server connections. On the desktop, Gajim (win/linux/bsd/mac) supports all of the XEPs I mentioned. There are clients for iOS too but I don't know how they work as I don't own any Apple products.
Of course, if you'd rather spend money than time hoping that your provider won't have your conversations stolen, misused or disappear with them that's your prerogative too.

To feel "not-normal" "above average", as this entire thread seems to imply? > stolen misused yada yada Let's leave these scary strories to the kids, shall we? We're supposed to be all grown ups here.
- puzzlingcaptcha 8y agoI don't understand why you pretend to be obtuse but it's clear you've already made your mind why.
- dmitriid 8y agoThe only ones being obtuse here are the delusional tech bros who are oh so sure that they are better than the "average" "normal" people.
