Do you have xmpp?
What do you think about Session? https://getsession.org/
We initially had Robosats Dev chat there, but it was abandoned like 2 years ago because we just decided to move everything to SimpleX.
Back then the reason was Session was lacking some basic community chat features. But I think the only good reason we had for SimpkeX was it doesn't need any user ID.
