What, no ranking for XMPP and IRC? They are by far the best alternatives in terms of openness, and have the advantage of being more focused on text-only and basic communication, securing the "do one thing and do it well" path. For things like voice chat there's Mumble, but tbh I don't know how is it doing.

I feel like XMPP is under rated, I used it in the past back when matrix was super new and not really production ready. I'm now revisiting them and matrix seems highly centralized in practice even if it was designed to be federated. There aren't that many implementations and so many people use matrix.org as their homeserver. Definitely still thinking XMPP is the best option.
