Secure is a relative term.  Signal still knows some things about the
users as they need to have central servers.  Jami[1] is slightly better
as a true distributed protocol.

Nonetheless, those are telephone/conferencing solutions.  What I was
thinking about as an alternative to Slack is a more social experience.

Some communities are now experimenting with Mastadon[2], for example.
Are there any Mastodon instances or similar services that have become
popular with the community in Australia, whether hosted in Australia or not?

I thought about starting an instance myself but I concluded that it
would be hard to host something like that under the Anzacathon.com site
and ensure that all content posted by users is respectful.  I'd rather
keep a minimum of content on Anzacathon.com and link to other grass
roots communities and tools.
