irssi in tmux on a cheap VPS.
I know this might sound snarky, but this is the combination a lot of my peers and I use.
I'm wary of the "yet another proprietary new messenger", all of which are only compatible with themselves. I can not understand why none of them implement protocols all the messengers can agree upon like for example tent.io, remoteStorage or ZeroNet.
Distributed messaging is hard and a lot of people are giving it a try, leaving us with lots of different half baked walled gardens. Yes, I'm looking at you, threema, telegram and your friends...
