Signal, telegram etc have the same problematic architectures. Of those kinds of solutions, I like Threema best, but nobody uses them (which is only a problem because of their architecture).

So I wanted to get a solution with a decentralized architecture, pretty much like the fediverse.

From what I can see, the fediverse activityPub with MLS layer project (to enable fediverse end-to-end encrypted messaging) is still in the functional documentation stage.

So, what do you think of Element as a messenger (which uses matrix protocol)?

Self-hosted and bridged. Half a year.

I quit that experiment and registered an account at a generic instance. Needless to say: it is only me and some public rooms.

None of my peers engages me there. They really don’t want to waste time with registration, backup keys, and concepts.
