Depends what your goal is. Revolt seems pretty cool, but I don't think it has any kind of encryption. It is based in Europe, though, so it gets GDPR protection, and it's open source, so it could be forked to fit other needs and uses.
No, Revolt checks neither of my boxes unfortunately.

It is entirely insecure.
Not when the entirety of your conversations are jargon and in-jokes!

Significant improvements to certificate pinning and validation have been added to all major XMPP clients as a result of this incident, but it should also be clear that hosting a server on infrastructure under control by an antagonist government (see also Signal) is a very bad idea and hard to mitigate against.
Signal doesn't suffer anything worse than DoS if a hostile party controls the central service. That's its point and role. It's based on the assumption that such hostile parties as governments don't like DoS'ing central services, they prefer to be invisible.
For other points and roles other solutions exist. One can't make an application covering them all, that never happens.
Briar again (I've finally read on it and installed it, and I love how it works and also the authors' plans on the future possibilities based on the same protocols, but not for IM, say, there's an article discussing possibility of RPC over those, which, for example, can give us something like the Web ; I mean, those plans are ambitious and if I want them to succeed so much, I should look for ways to defeat my executive dysfunction and distractions and learn Java). Except it would be cool if it allowed to toss data over untrusted parties, say, now if two Briar users in the same group are not in each other's range, but there's a third Briar user not in that group between them, their group won't synchronize (provided they don't have Internet connectivity). If one could allow allocating some space for such piggybacked data, or create some mesh routing functionality, then it would become a bit cooler.

You are very naive if you think that is all the US government can do in regards to Signal, but suit yourself

OK, so what else in your opinion can it do?

A lot, but please educate yourself, this topic has been extensively discussed here and in other places.

Thanks for the advice.

This is noise, not an argument.
I dunno what's the purpose of this comment. I asked for specific things, not for noise.

xmpp isn't.
(Ok I get xmpp alone is but every modern client supports the same two encryption methods so judge for yourself)

Anything that's been proven/confirmed?

Define secure. You can run your own network.

So what's left? Jabber?
What about delta?
