Not being Open Source disqualifies Threema immediately. No more digging needed.

Oh, looks like I missed an announcement. Nice!

Always remember:

The problem with open source, while being better than closed source is that there can be discontinuities on the back end that leak. So, for example, the messages my be end to end encrypted and secure when seen from the open sourced code, but asynchronously the server hosts may possess decryption keys.

Open source is necessary but insufficient. There must also be no central servers. Only self hosted servers by the participants or at least the abity to do so.
