You are right to feel uneasy about Signal, because there is a possibility (I don't know how big) to snoop and is centralized. Checkout Session, forked Signal with decentralized infrastructure.

Session relies the Loki network overlay. Loki is another cryptocurrency.

Any decentralised alternatives without the cryptocurrency linkage.

Yes, the Loki is the incentive to running nodes. Jami is decentralized without incentives. Berty.tech is distributed, also without incentives.
