Looking for a selfhostable chat service that people on phone and computers can log onto (kbin.earth)

I'm not sure if this is the right place but me and my friend group have lately become privacy conscious and wanted to stop using discord and other types of social media, and only log onto self hosted options that only we can access.

we've eliminated something like Revolt (now named Stoat due to it missing ideal features and the developers being anti-decentralized (as well as being extremely hostile to the userbase noticably...)

Does anyone have any idea what would be an ideal service to use?

There are many solutions. I have chosen xmpp/ejabberd/conversations/monal.

    You know, I'm really curious about xmpp, kinda wanna check it out, but then every time I am reminded that it exists it comes with a new and different chain of dependencies? other apps? whatever the other things are anyways that people list with it. And then I don't bother researching because suddenly it seems like the more complicated option. Not intending to insult, just lamenting.
