Best apps for private messaging (www.privacyguides.org)

Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

The freenet/futo devs are working something called river (https://freenet.org/). I don't think it's mobile yet and cannot attest to it's call quality. It's fully decentralized though, so it should work even if they abandon the project. Here's a video on the protocol https://youtu.be/3SxNBz1VTE0 Mostly goes over the introductory docs that're on the site.
