I'm using riot-desktop client (don't mess between Matrix, the service,
and Riot-desktop or Riot-web or Riot-android, which are some of the
existing clients [0]) and on the linked page they say it's not free
software because it uses electron, but electron looks as free software
to me [1] or can be shipped as free software depending on the
distribution [2].

Anyway1, the libremesh-dev chat [3] can also be accessed through IRC,
and if anyone wants to bridge any other service, I think there's no problem.
Anyway2, if federation is not enough and you're looking for
decentralization: there's also a LibreMesh forum on RetroShare, quite
abandoned and difficult to access by new users.
Ciao!
