I really don't like Signal, but I also really don't like Silent Phone. We seem to be SoL.

Best other options are Matrix (mentioned below) and one of the encryption solutions on top of XMPP (OTR, mentioned below, or OMEMO, which is probably a better choice in most cases). Both of those are federated, as well, which Signal doesn't offer.

XMPP + OTR?
