Good old XMPP. If it wasn't so intimidating to setup from a layman's perspective, I'd probably run my own relay(?) at home and use it for direct communication with close family/friends.

It's actually quite easy to host an XMPP server, at least compared to many other things, and they generally have low system requirements.

Take a look at this up-to-date howto for Prosody: https://homebrewserver.club/configuring-a-modern-xmpp-server...

I'm curious to know what you find intimidating, and I'm sure there are plenty of people ready to help.
